West Coast R/C Works fan shrouds

West Coast R/C Works have released their new line of fan shrouds for standard 30mm cooling fans and the WTF Windy. Available in two different designs, open and the directed flow, both designs will improve the motor temperatures significantly over a fan only scenario. However they differ in the way how they channel the airflow to the motor. The open flow channels the airflow to the whole motor can and therefore suits the more closed can design of previous motor generations, while the directed flow channels the air directly to the coils of the latest motors where the majority of the can has been removed. Compatible with most touring cars on the market, they are made out of carbon fibre infused nylon.
