Interesting that the stock ESC fan is oriented to suck hot air from the motor...makes me wonder if this bike really needs a fan cooled ESC at all. A bike puts far less strain on the ESC than a conventional 4 wheeled RC. Not needing an ESC with a fan would open up more options.
@earlmoorhead5555 Жыл бұрын
The gearing doesn’t look like it needs a fan but the weight of it and small esc might but will find out I think the bigger max10 shouldn’t need a fan on 3s
