    fan to run on lipo

    I want to run a fan in my sprintcat .40 to blow over my scorpion 4025 1670kv outrunner and use a 2s or 3s lipo on it

    can someone link me to a cheap fan that would work and have some good air flow

    Can't you use any fan that is made for a CPU cooler?
    They are 12V, so should run straight of 3s.

      I have a small computer fan running off 3S to cool an esc. Works just fine.
