Arrma ESC fan Repair - POTENTIAL FIX & MOD TIP

[@EastTactics]

You'd be surprised how this common breakage can be fixed. Worked great for me!

[@peteyquickk]

Noticed tonight the ESC fan on my Typhon 3S wasn't spinning, took off the fan and found out it wasn't properly seated on the shaft, this video sure helped me out, thanks!

[@EastTactics]

Awesome. I myself found however that Once it becomes unseated… it tends to do it again. So you may end up needing to pick up a new fan or… I do have a video regarding upgrading to tank high powered fans if you want to check that out. I have a playlist in regards to do it yourself fans.

[@tonysmith7989]

Was looking to see if my esc was going out do to the motor fan stopped bit when I turns it back on it worked and noticed that the esc fan was slowly starting and stopping. Noticed when I tapped it it would spin then stop.. I'm glad I found your video. Would have never thought about that. Funny how you can find a video of a problem you're having and a fix a year after the vid came out. Cant thank you in advance, so thanking you after the fact. 👍🤙🤜🤛

I have a Big rock with the 3s esc w/25mm fan i took your esc cap mod to another level. I clipped everything at heatsink level(sides and rear) and removed it, even the thin slots. I left the front intact due to that bring a sort of Cap brace. but everything else is removed to improve airflow. For those interested, it might effect the warranty, so beware, my BR is over a year old so not worried about the warranty

[@EastTactics]

Interesting, thx for sharing.

[@crazylarryjr]

@@EastTactics, I've not had an issue, that i'm aware of, but have never gotten a good temp reading on the esc, so figured it couldn't hurt. still using the stock fan, but planning to upgrade the fan soon as i can now that i finally found some good replacements. thanks for the vid good info

[@EastTactics]

Anytime. Stayed tuned for more on fans, on my channel

[@kadomanior1233]

[@EastTactics]

[@ellegreen4762]

[@jorgemorales8429]

Bro many thanks, I have the same issue in my V4 TYPHON 6s, tomorrow I will try this for sure!!!!

[@EastTactics]

Nice, let me know if it fixes your issue like it did for me

[@2XRC]

Truly appreciate your channel. it’s informative and is a great reference for future maintenance and upgrades. 👊💪 Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. 🙏👍

[@EastTactics]

Anytime my friend! Thx!

[@3SonsRC]

Nice video. I have more ran into the wires breaking loose. Fixed that a few times. But recently I tried to fix two seperate fans and I fixed the wires and they didn't work still afterwards.... So maybe it was this middle peice I need to work on.... Good thing I didn't throw them away after purchasing two new ones..... Will try to fix my old ones so will have plenty backups.... Good stuff my man!

[@CopperStateCorals]

Nice vid. I was actually able to re assemble (from spares) my Hot Racing Motor Fan after watching this. Thanks

[@tjbuggeyable]

Massively helpful video, thanks.

[@bradleydenhartog7297]

Good fix

[@skyworx524]

Awesome Bro , You just save me $30 for a stock K8s motor fan. Here a tip for you. get a piece grey scotch brite scuffing pad cut to size , peel it apart so its not to thick and place on top of fan before you replace fan cover, this aids to filter out smaller bits n pieces from breaking the blades but still enables good air flow. Just subbed you too. Cheers. D

[@joelgraba1077]

Nice, i see you got a good repair Setup, not like me on an old broken Ikea table xd

[@Crewchief227]

The best mod I have is to take the 35mm fan case & motor, get a 30mm fan & put the 30mm blades in the 35mm fan. They flex less & won't break. The Max6 takes the same fan, and after breaking plenty of them. This is the one mod that I found works.

[@Crewchief227]

Oh and once the shaft goes its done. I do know how to glue blades on and they last. Trick is more surface area.😉

[@EastTactics]

Crewchief 227, very interesting 🤔

[@EastTactics]

Crewchief 227, I’m curious to see how long it will last with that tiny mod I added to it. Guess we’ll find out. As mentioned I’ve got a newer set up on its way so at the very least hopefully it lasts a few bashes. Ha ha

[@g.b-MTB-trail-jumps3062]

Hey bro...great vid.. You can use in "roket" fan.."surpass hobby" nice fan for bash and jumps and very strong..

[@EastTactics]

Thx for the tip. Can you link to it? Always interested in recommendations for fans.

[@g.b-MTB-trail-jumps3062]

@@EastTactics shure mate

[@g.b-MTB-trail-jumps3062]

This is also for 1/8. 30*30mm

[@justins6465]

I always put silicone or hot glue on my new fans at the solder points

[@3SonsRC]

Yeah that's a good one too! Them wires always break free

[@frankposterello1628]

Here today because I was at a skate park and now my fan is super noisy, but still spinning so far. Not a bad idea, but could probably just use hot glue or a booger or something to fill the gap instead of bothering with the dremel.

[@EastTactics]

Lol. Do you want something hard with a smooth surface to allow for spinning. LOL but then again a booger might work great.

[@frankposterello1628]

@@EastTactics Oh you're right, I was visualizing the assembly wrong - that bit rotates. Dremel it is then!

[@melpres4128]

Can you please send me a link for the 10 pack of esc fans

Crazy long link, lol. www.aliexpress.com/item/32547118313.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2f993e91heyUhP&algo_pvid=5c14ac8b-eb13-4833-921e-ea63ae12ed44&algo_expid=5c14ac8b-eb13-4833-921e-ea63ae12ed44-13&btsid=0ab6fb8815941539013355618e7217&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

[@peytongaming8925]

I just broke my fan in this save me money

[@0000zer0]

Do you even need a fan for a brainz 10 i believe they are the same as arma.

[@EastTactics]

If my brains you mean, ESC, yes, you do need a fan for it.

[@markvalis5521]

Broke housing trying to remove fan blade!

[@EastTactics]

😬

[@tobydyes]

A real mod has to do with the original fan what you're doing is an upgrade

[@EastTactics]

Good point 😆

[@raymondrodriguez7177]

Dude, just get a new fan man...

[@EastTactics]

Well… If you watch more of my videos, you’ll Noticed that I have since gotten a new fan, in fact I upgraded to a high-end cooling system called NTF fans. While they are amazing and they cool the system tenfold better. My next mission was to determine the quality or bash resistance of these new fans. Other videos talk about their quality and durability. My ultimate finding is that bashing hard on concrete simply break electronics. I now have a new mission or objective to find outside of the box ways to further upgrade the platform providing better protection to our electronics. Upcoming videos we’ll talk more about this. Thanks for watching.
