Notorious 6s 5v motor fan install?

[Wyatt4116]

Good Afternoon All,

New to all of this madness. I am wondering how to wire a single fan for the drive motor. Should I piggy back off the ESC fan?

Thanks,
Andrew

dont piggyback. wire it into rx or a Y splitter with ubec off battery,

Yea it is funny because my Senton has a plug port on ESC. I also see a couple of the other models with heat sinks. Just wondering where to find the best point to connect the fan.
Thank you for all of the help!!

I've soldered 2 mm female bullets in the esc main wires from battery to a ubec i would not go with a 5v an id go with a 2 cell lipo one.. fans usually only take a few at most amps under 2

Well this is on a notorious. I'm running 6s. To stack together. In the original wiring harness I mean I guess I could come off the loop on the second battery which is not in the series. I mean I could add a resistor in there to try and bring the voltage to the motor down for the fan.

I bought the hot racing assembly off of horizons website. It comes with an ec5 connector which I will have to change over to an ic5 connector.

I really appreciate everybody's help cuz I am very very new to this. I remember back when I was a kid which was a long time ago. My friends all ran nitro stuff. There wasn't any of battery operated stuff 35 years ago LOL

I run my fans off a splitter that's connected to the esc fan plug. Worked fine on my blx185, max6's and max10 sct. For my castle esc's, I run a splitter clear to the receiver because if the esc does have a fan, it's controlled by the esc and only comes on when the esc is hot and needs it. However, I like to know my fans are working any time I look at them, so I run all fans to the receiver with them so they are always on. Even then, I leave the splitter outside the receiver box so if a fan dies, I can replace it without dealing with the receiver box. Fans are a bit of a consumable item, so being able to replace them easily/quickly is helpful.

Well that's great information so I could just put the fan on one of the other channels of the receiver?

I'm guessing I would just have to make sure that the receiver is programmed for that extra channel correct?

Again I am so appreciative of everybody on here giving me information I am very new and green to the sport and just want to do the best I can so my son and I have a great time together.

Well that's great cuz I've already bought all the wiring harness stuff to make up the harness to make a splitter. I was just figuring these motors are such low amperage that it would be able to handle it. I hate to do anything extra curricular to try and resolve any voltage issues and stuff like that but I want my fans to run all the time. If it lowers my run time on these batteries so be it I'd rather keep my high dollar products LOL safe.

I know these fans are very high speed but I can only imagine they're drawing between a quarter or a half of an amp.

Got a link to the fans you ended up with? What esc do you have?

You shouldn't have to do anything on the receiver to "turn on" the remaining ports. Every receiver I've used has power on all the ports all the time, the 3rd pin in each port is just the signal.

Spektrum150 firmware. I think I've figured out that I'm going to have to modify and put a ubec in line with the battery.

you dont have to program anything to run in the x in a open channel unless fan .fan has 2 wires +.-
