Motor Cooling Fans

[New RC Car Dude]

Hi Everyone! I seem to be going through fans like crazy(bit of an exaggeration). Can someone please provide some suggestions of some good quality 30MM cooling fans that I can pick up?

What are the conditions that are killing your fans currently? What brands have you had trouble with?
I bought an Avid and a Surpass. Both are nice quality but I've not run either yet.

I mainly drive on some dirt bike tracks with some pretty huge jumps. Funny, I just picked up some Surpass fans that are on their way now. The main problem is the supports that hold the fan in place. They seem to snap pretty easily, even when in a pretty secure location (so I though). Below are the brands that I've tried.

• Arrarwon
• RCXAC
• Red Spider
• Meilan (this one ran the longest and I only got it because it came with dual fans and heat sink. Of of the fans is still working lol)

Surpass Rocket fans are a pretty common name. They seemed to have a good rep. Ppl like them.
Avid is a race company thats been around forever. If they say its good, I'll try it.
Is there any way to install a stronger support or another brace to add some strength?
Any pics of what you have tried? Maybe someone will see and know just what will fix.
Maybe rubber mountimg the fan will give it some impact isolation.

I use protek in my race buggies. Also used Wild Turbo Fans and they are pretty good too.

Pick your size and prepare to be amazed. I use the 56mm variation for a large scale motor and it’s awesome. This thing isn’t going anywhere.

Thanks for the suggestion. I went with a Surpass Rocket fan on both of Arrma rigs I have and so far so good. Nice rpms on them too!!!
