|  Motor fan won’t spin...when on motor
So, I got a Yeah Racing heatsink with side fan for my Wraith (Australian summer coming up). Well, it won’t spin when I put it on the motor where it belongs. Motor magnets are likely the cause. When I unscrew the fan from the heatsink and move it a couple of inches away, it starts spinning. Since this is designed to be clipped onto a motor, what am I missing here?

That’s interesting. I don’t use fans often but have on my rally car and haven’t seen this issue. I’ve just used traxxas and a couple other cheaper fans but they would operate close to the motor.

I also have a YR fan that I mounted to the brushless motor on my Slash... same deal.. doesn't spin. It worked upon the initial run but shortly after... nothing. I haven't tried moving it away from the motor while running and I know my post doesn't help you but just wanted to share my same/ similar experience with this product as well.

I have the same problem, but mine doesn’t work at all anymore. I have the Castle Creations 2 fans with shroud(1/8th scale I believe) on my TRX4 and I went to run it one day, and they haven’t worked. I’ve tried plugging it into the receiver box, RC4WD light controller and it doesn’t work no matter what. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Make up a spacer to move it farther away?
