Got mine on route , got 3 of them coming one for max 6 and 2 for motor
Nice - you will love them 👍
Had the X-maxx for quite a while, but only thought about replacing the motor fans now...
Stupid of me because they have been making that noise probably after the first drive, luckily not as bad as in your video 😅 but still annoying enough.
When the car started making that noise I found out pretty quickly that it came from the motor fans, and I just removed the broken fan pieces and reassembled the stuff back together. 🤣
It did surprise me that I've never had temperature issues though.
Gonna order these right now and I'll let you know if they hold up 💪
Im still using the same fans today, also run them in pretty much all my rigs and they hold up very well
I use the 30mm version on my dual motor mount on my Notorious and they blow so much air, the build quality is also great!
You are very right, love these fans 👍👍
Now that’s hardcore! 👍😊 good to know re the fans as they will fit right into the mini Maxx as well - cheers 🤟
Love these, very powerful and should hold up under extreme jumping as well. So Maxx has same size fans, that's handy 👍
Those fans look pretty nice and definitely took some pretty hard hits I’ll have to check those out. That’s unfortunate the bulkhead kept giving you problems though.
They are very nice. Think the issue with the bulkhead was actually a broken bearing that i found when i got home, bulkheads are easy to change and only £3 😂
Protech and Eco Power have 35mm fans with short wires that'll fit the esc and motor heatsink no problem. Been running them in my Xmaxx for a while now.
Yeah quite a few have the fans now, pretty much all rebranded Surpass ones, when i did this video only Surpass had them
I run powerhobby fans on my Max 6 and on the stock 8s motor on my xmaxx. The aluminum housing ones. I've yet to break one with 20ft plus extreme jumps 👍
Nice, dont think we can get powerhobbies in the UK, are they 35mm ones ?
@@HardcoreRC They sell one intended for the MAx 4s ESC. It's a perfect fit for the MAx 6 esc. So yes. I think it is. The smaller ones don't fit perfectly inside the stock Xmaxx motor housing but they stay in there snugly and they don't come out. I think those are 30x30x10
Awesome seb sent me a link for them the other week. Need to get them ordered up 👍
Yeah, i found them rebranded on and Australian site which was higher price and ages to ship, then Seb found the Rocket ones - very handy 👍
Nice one brother been looking for a good fan standard ones are made out of chocolate
Your welcome - they are still holding up, bit tight to get in but they do go in and stay in place
@@HardcoreRC good to hear mine are on the way
Thanks for the information. But no one ever talks about the heat transfer rate between the motor and heat sink. I've taken off the heat sink and found lots of dust on the motor between the heat sink and motor casing. That tells me that the heat sink is not in contact with the motor casing everywhere. In fact not much at all. To help a lot use a heat transfer past or anything that can handle high temps and remains in a liquid state. I like but extremely messy is Permatex Anti Seize paste. It's not designed for a heat sink transfer paste but it works great. It fills in all those gaps of air between the motor and heat sink. Anywhere there is air you have a heat insulator and that's the opposite of what you want. If you have great fans you might as well take advantage of them and get the heat from the motor into the heat sink where the fans can do their job.
Totally get what you are saying, and likley would be more important in a speed run car where there is a lot of heat generated and also trying to get the very last inch out of the motor.
When it comes to bashing cars the abuse that take means that the heat sink does move around, however it is still in contact enough to transfer heat to is, in all our rigs when i check temps the heat stink is pretty much the same heat as the motor.
If you are pushing the motor in a bash rig to the point you would need heat transfer past i would say the rig as way over geared
hey buddy its me againnnn !! does the max 6 take the exact same fans as the motor install you just did ? thanks mate ! liked btw ! absolute lifesaver you are !
Yes the max6 takes the 35mm fans, you may need to cut a little slot out for so the wires doesn't snag as the fans are actually 36mm, but yes they fit - i have them in my Max6
@@HardcoreRC yes i saw in your video. ugh wire management gets worse and worse lol xd. i been driving it without the brace in the middle since i put my max6. think its about time to put it back so i can mount wires with zipties to it.
@@Sheldinator Yep zip ties are your friend when it comes to cable management, but i know what you mean
@@HardcoreRCwhat is the song at 8:04
thanks for the link Hardcore
Your welcome - its good to share these new finds
Nice upgade. Great video.
Thanks 👍 Thanks - they seem to be holding up great as well
Love this ramps,nice video👏😍
Glad you enjoyed 👍
Great Video! I'm looking to use these fans in a different application where it would benefit to have the fan speed closer to 1500rpm. Are these fans able to go that slow and still be within the normal working voltage range of the motor? I love the idea of an aluminum fan because I'm using it to cool heat sinks and these are the only ones I could find. They are just too loud for my application!
Thank you for watching, i have only ever run these fans on 6v or 7.2v from the ESC, im not sure they would run as low at 1,500rpm sorry i cant help more
Use them as 40mm on my Rocket 5593 motor and on the max6 with custom made mounting plates!
Think they are great fans, haven't broken one yet and use different sizes on our 3s cars as well. been thinking about using the 40mm on our Max6 as well with the Alza mount
Thank you thats great!!!
You're welcome!
I know that skatepark I seen Kevin talbot videos of him bashing his cars 😆
If you watch Kevin then you would have also seen us in his some of his videos
I have these fans they are awesome keeps my slash 2wd cooler and I bought a new fan to my esc and I still have the motor fan of rocket still going.
Nice vid bud love your work 👍👍
Hehe thanks 👍👍
Awesome! Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a faster, better fan that fits the stock Maxx and XMAXX ESC and motors. Got 4 ordered.
Glad I could help, love these fans as they fit like stock 👍
Just ordered some, do you use the servo listed in the description for the xmaxx? Also is there anything you need to adapt it onto the xmaxx
Thanks for watching - i haven't used the servo listed for the Xmaxx so not sure if it fits using the servo adaptor part 7749, we are still using the stock servo. I use that servo in pretty much all our Arrma cars when the stock servos die or if they are rollers
Wonder if i must order Two as well for the stock shroud on xmaxx, they draw 0.7A and stock is 0.28A. How much can i connect to the stock vxl8s bec before its too much?
normally the BEC on an ESC can take around 20 amps so this small amount f draw from these fans should be fine
Looks like either tsm is too high on maxx causing that weird turning in air or servo saver is weak?
TSM is turned off, so may be servo saver 🤷♂️
What are you using on your Big Rock?
My motor feels hot here in Portugal and I drove it at night....do you think a 40mm of those would do the trick?
Could I plug that where the original plugs on now?
Our Bigrock is all stock fans, think you contacted me directly and have give you advice ? if not let me know and can help you
@@HardcoreRC yes it was me ...thank you again for taking the time 🙏
@@B0tinh0 Ok - you are more than welcome - hope you get it all sorted out
We're can I get the fans for my Xmaxxx?
Where do you live ?
What bangood servo are you using in Xmaxx? Same one in description?
Still using the stock servo - not sure the Banggood ones fit the Xmaxx, we use those in all our non Traxxas cars
Great job what size will fit my dbxl-e 2.0 e
If the ESC is the 160amp one then im pretty sure that's also a 35mm fan, might be worth just popping the fan out and checking, but im guessing its 35x35x10mm in which case this should be a direct fit
Has anyone done a jump in reverse yet, ive only seen it once on the flips n tricks tutorial video by Traxxas support. They reversed flat out n landed facing the opposite way. I've never seen it done by anyone else yet.
Not that im aware of, although would work well with a Traxxas ESC as they are set by default as 100% throttle in reverse, not something you really want 😂 you can change it but that means spending more money on the bluetooth module, far better to just rip the stock ESC out and put a Max6 in
$18 each is a little pricey. The stock are $2 each. You can get a 3D printed 2x40mm fan mount and 2x40mm turbo fans for $30-40.
Stock fans are junk though, same as the fans that come in pretty much all RC's big jumps and they are toast, our stock fans broke on the very first outing. 3D printed stuff never lasts if under and impact strain and just dont see it holding out with the weight of two 40x40x28 fans with big jumps unless made with minimal infill or TPU. Have run the 25mm and 30mm version of these fans on all our other trucks and had none break, so worth the cost in my opinion
@@HardcoreRC If you use enough infill you’ll be fine. Another option is a 60mm turbo fan. About the same width as the chassis rails so you can attach it directly to the rails and without a housing.
@@mesodan Dont 3d print so bit of an issue 😂😂 as said in the video was looking at changing the cooling system but really to much of a faff when i can just direct swap these fans and be done 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC - "3D printed stuff never lasts if under and impact strain" , that definitely tells me you are lacking some insight into this subject. I am literally running 3D printed towers (100% infill) on my Talion, because the stock aluminium ones bend way too easy. Also my indestructible Kraton 6S EXB wing mount is 3D-printed, and used by loads of people. I even know people running things like Kraton 8S shock rodends made by PLA+, but that is taking a hell of a beating. Definitely do not underestimate 3D-printing - especially if you have no knowledge about what it can do.
@@bdawg1337 Where did i say i had any knowledge or 3d printing - if you read all the comment i actually say i dont 3D print.
What i do know is that any 3d Printed stuff we have been sent, given or bought has not lasted, so all i can go on is my own experience, i guess it all comes down to how hard the cars are abused and sent.
If you are so sure of your 3D printed stuff i will be happy for you to send me some to test properly for you 😂
How have they held mate, the stock last a week for me.
So far so good, been hitting it very hard and still going strong, love all these Surpass fans in all their sizes
Awsome
Hope it helps
What is the song at 8:04
Will those fans fit in maxx fan housing
If they are 35mm then yes should fit
is it just me, or did sparks come from mini maxx at 9:34
Think that is just the white paint inside
@@HardcoreRC I couldn’t see any sparks
This broke in 30 seconds for me but worked really well while it did
You broken on of these fans in 30 seconds ? mine are still going strong and we abuse the hell out of the Xmaxx
@@HardcoreRC i have a bandit and the whole heatsink came off when it wheelied on rock the setup I have is not very good and it was completely my fault
@@HardcoreRC bought a vxl crash bumper plate hopefully this time it wont break
How have the fans held up since you installed them?
Fans are still going strong with no issues, Also run this make of fans on our Arrma 3s cars (30mm and 35mm ones) and had no issue with them there either
@@HardcoreRC thanks for the reply, I bought some plastic high voltage power hobby 35mm and didn’t last 2 bash sessions. So now I’m giving the aluminum fans you have a try. Please give us an update if they do fail for whatever reason or even an update on how well they are still doing in a later video.
@@RFHX2_6.0 Sure will do, hopefully they work for you as well. They are a little tight to fit in, but they do fit, i didnt need to mod the holder or anything
@@HardcoreRCAre they still holding up? Mine held up great, I recently swapped them for bigger fans on my Xmaxx. They have now been installed in my Max 6 ESCs.
Are the blades metal or plastic? 🙏
Plastic, but its the plastic frames that cause the other fans to break, the plastic frame flexes and hits the fan blades, the are aluminium cases so they dont flex
i couldnt get mine in and i have no idea why
They are a little bit tight but do fit in, also need to make sure the little retaining tabs are moved out the way
okay thanks
Wow it was fine till that idiot did that hard landing on the body!!
Looks like the same park that annoying guy that talks with a lisp uses
Who would that be ?
Wondfull jumps
Thanks 👍
First HAHA BEAT THAT EMILY 😝
