Kraton EXB gets some new fans!! Game changer dual Fan set up.

[@rcpd3157]

Can't wait to see you out getting to really enjoy the #GameChangerRc Fans! Very nice looking set for the EXB. Great job with the installation.

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks Jessica I’m looking forward to taking it out also.

[@jamesgeorge609]

I really like those fans. But where did you get the heatsink,,,I need to order...🇺🇸👈

[@gamechangerrc4633]

I appreciate your support the heatsink I sell on my eBay store

[@gazfpv]

Nice purchase buddy 👍 🇬🇧 😃 👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Very clean installation awesome 😎 👍👍💯💯

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks Earl appreciate it!!

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

I love how after watching this I get RC car fan powered plane in my KZbin recommended also should I change all my deans to xt60 connectors I have both of them in my garage

[@BarstoneRC]

EC5 is better holds more amps

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

@@BarstoneRC yeh nkt got any everything is now xt60 though so a bit better

[@KurtsRCs]

Nice install those are some good fans

[@BarstoneRC]

Very nice fans. Push lots of air.

[@Tegridy_Rc]

I need to get a set of these.. I burnt up the brand new castle 1800kv motor I got for this truck when I first got to drive it after getting a new warranty diff from horizon hobby. But castle won’t warranty the motor sadly 😞

[@BarstoneRC]

These will definitely keep them cool and they will also put up with bashing so would definitely recommend them.

[@EastTactics]

Curious my good friend, Why did you mount the heat sink off camera? What method did you used for keeping the heatsink tight to the motor so that there will be zero left and right shifting during some hardcore bashing? Whats going to keep it from shifting around the motor since the heatsink doesn't clamp down or strap all the way around, we missed that in your vid? We also missed how you bolted the fans to the Heatsink, doesn't even look like your using the provided stands that are part of the heatsink, are you sitting between them? or using the back prongs? Also... just fair warning, based on the extensive research that I've done specifically on these 40mm fans. The way you have them mounted has a high chance of busting the fan from hard landings. If you watch RCDude81 review of these fans, the one that sticks out (the left one, with zero support under it) broke on him. Even the fan that is not sticking out, the one that mounted closer in, I don't think has any support directly under the fan. I've found, that even a few centimeters of gap between the fan and the heatsink increases breakage exponentially with these fans. (which by the way .... are not metal blades, they are spray painted with a metallic spray paint, which dont get me wrong... is still cool, and likely adds strength) These fans are amazing, and Gamechanger RC is one of the few who offers them at a semi decent price (while I still recommend you DIY the project) he's a solid vender. I just want both him and his customers to know the vulnerability of mounting these fans with no direct support under them. If he makes a version my way, he better contact me and call it the EastTactics setup. lol (hint hint) These fans are powerful enough that you really only need one over the motor, two is really overkill in my opinion. Plus you can focus more on mounting it properly (vertically... not at an angle) when you go with one as well. Anyway... great video and thanks for sharing.

[@BarstoneRC]

I really appreciate the information and I mounted the fans in that direction it was a very tight fit getting the heat sink on the motor and I put them that way I figured if they did move or shift they would go down towards the chassis instead of the other direction, I don’t know yet if that was the best way but that’s what I chose to do at the moment. As far as mounting the fans I did what the diagram showed me that came with the fans depending on the heat sink and fans being used you were supposed to use holes one and three on the top row so that’s what I did. obviously until I test it out and give it a good bashing I won’t know how they’re going to hold up in that mounting but that’s what I was advised to do.

[@EastTactics]

@@BarstoneRC Yes... keep me in the loop how well they hold up. Most people dont bash as hard as RCDUDE81, so you might be fine. My Tactics (which will be in my next video) are really for those who massively sending it, or attacking skate parks). Bash in my friend (always great content!)

[@kerndeath]

Quick question on these fans I have similar fans in mine kraton 6s ….. have t been out yet but wondered how long the lipo battery’s lasts …. Mine is a 3s 1050 mah

[@georgepace1145]

Hi mate nice heat sink and fans. But do you think you needed a twin fans when one of them is hanging back not really doing anything?.

[@BarstoneRC]

It might be a little overkill but it’s still pushing a lot of air around inside the car if it helps keep anything else cool then it’s still worth it.

[@yyckey5022]

Can't wait to see you test jump those fan, if it work when you jumps it, i will probably buy some.👍

[@BarstoneRC]

I have heard very good things about them and they hold up very well but we will see?

Thanks bro.🤗

Check out RCDUDE81 for his extreme bash test of the fans on his EXB that should give you an idea on how they hold up👊👊💯💯

Ask Mitch Buchanan I think he’s a pro at that stuff.

Well I was thinking he always a smart ass but we can go with your comment I guess. Lol

[@paulrakis]

Sounds like a jet with those fans running. Make sure you take advantage and run least a 14 or 15 tooth pinion gear bro. How your rear end holding up with the LSD ? I'm still waiting for mine 😭

[@BarstoneRC]

I’m really enjoying the way it handles with the limited slip and after putting the aluminum differential case on it it’s been holding together great.

[@paulrakis]

@@BarstoneRC grrat 👍 yeah can't wait to get mine back up and running. If I break another rear differential case I'm gonna get the aluminum diff case as well.

[@paulrakis]

@@BarstoneRC hey bro. Just got my LSD diff today. It seems to be very crunchy with the gears. Did your feel like that too?. Imma top it off with some fluid hopefully that will do the trick.

[@BarstoneRC]

No mine was very smooth when I got it.

[@paulrakis]

@@BarstoneRC wow nice. You got a lucky one o guess. Good thing it's all under warranty for a while.thanks bro

[@DoRC]

I highly doubt that the fan blades are aluminum. Most likely there just painted silver. These are standard 40 mm server fans. you can pull the game changer stickers off of them to find out which ones they are

[@BarstoneRC]

They are a heavy plastic with a aluminum coating on them.

[@DoRC]

@@BarstoneRC I see. I'd be curious to see what brand server fan they are under the stickers.

[@meanf1502]

How do you get the fans I went on ebay an it only shows one gamechanger fan on their looking for a dual set for my k8

[@BarstoneRC]

If you go to there site on eBay they should all be there.?

[@sniperowlG]

What are your thoughts between the Max6 combo vs the Max8 combo? Nice fans

[@BarstoneRC]

Depends on the car?

Nice , no chance of it getting to hot now 👍🏻

Hey man, will these work on a Kraton 6S BLX?

I wouldn’t see why not he has lots of new fans and designs now also

I run GC fan on mine too , lots of air is right man! btw, how do you like the Backflips on the EXB? those are the 6S ones aren’t they? Better than the Copperhead II ? Thanks bro

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah they are the 6s backflips and I love them. Way better then the Copperheads.

[@Bobsbargainbasement]

@@BarstoneRC thanks Buddy!

[@BarstoneRC]

What I have always done with mine is put six holes in the center of the tire spaced out equally I’ve never had one blow out or had any real issues. the issues I always had was with the copperheads that the foams break down and become very unbalanced very quickly.

[@BarstoneRC]

Glad it worked out for you man and you didn’t have any tire blowouts.

[@Gazelle0078]

I buy the two pack like that and I spli them one for motor and one for esc. I’m running a 20 tooth pinion and never over heat. Unless your running a speed car u really don’t need two on the motor

[@BarstoneRC]

I actually was thinking about putting one of them on the ESC to help keep that a little cooler.

will these fit straight on the talion exb?

They have low profile ones also but everything fits great so I’m good with it.

[@KZizFISHIN]

Hi guys im just a old fart who just loves rc but anyway if your motor is getting so hot that you need 2 computer case fans so it wont burn up there's only a couple things could cause it its normally the wrong gearing

[@BarstoneRC]

Just trying to keep them cool I have stock gearing on all my cars. The only car I change was the K8S but it still stays pretty cool.

[@KZizFISHIN]

@@BarstoneRC dont misunderstand me i freaking love how great they look i want 1 for mine and i got to have those cooling fin they fit so nice

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I understand where you’re coming from, that’s one of the main reasons I never got into crazy gearing on my cars is due to overheating issues but on the really hot summer days especially at the motocross track I’ve had them get pretty warm so I figured I would give these fans a try and see how much it helps.

[@bdawg1337]

So yeah, that's a pretty terrible solution. Those ribs on the motor is a heatsink. You are trapping still air between the ribs and insulating heat in the motor. On top of that you are blowing high CFM fans straight down into a wall, which makes a load of turbulence and nothing else. Essentially I will say you added noise, power usage and little or no cooling.

[@BarstoneRC]

Well I can tell you many many people use this same setup and it cools VERY well. The external heat sync is thighs to the motor wich now pulls the heat from the motor and the fan cools the heat sync.

[@bdawg1337]

@@BarstoneRC I know lots of people use similar solutions, but unfortunately it’s just because very few people know what they are doing. Had the motor been a smooth surface variant and lightly coated with thermal compound, then yes, heat could indeed transfer decently to the heat sink. Putting it on a ribbed motor though makes no sense. Also I don’t understand why you are using axial fans to blow straight down between the wings of the heat sink. With my knowledge of thermodynamics, I would recommend you strip that setup off and run without.

[@BarstoneRC]

Well I’m just testing these out on this car and then I might be putting them on my Typhon it does have a smooth motor casing.

[@bdawg1337]

@@BarstoneRC To me they don’t at all look like great fans for cooling something like this. You want to duct something around the ribs on the motor with high static pressure. Also I personally favor radial fans as they are more durable, especially in dirty air. Don’t get me wrong, axial fans can work okay. But you really need to give them a good working conditions and not choke them like this. I am willing to bet that if you take one of those fans, place it with a good bit of distance to the motor blowing at it, and throw the heat sink out, then you just improved your cooling 10x

[@BarstoneRC]

I’ve never even ran fans on my motors unless it came with it on there. I was just trying this out to see how it help or held up.
