You could, but those fans are usually a fairly low draw compared to the motor loads.

I run 3s and a Novak BEC. I was wondering the same thing. I think I will try it. Maybe run it 15 min and shoot it with infrared thermometer. I suppose it cant hurt.

It states that if your going to run 3S then the fan should be connected. The draw on those aren't that bad. My buddy runs 800mah 3S with the fan an he gets 20-25mins of run time. More than enough for a course. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
