More new items from K-Factory who have released the TC 2 motor cooling head & fan set. This is very similar to K-Factory’s TC motor cooling head we wrote about previously but it has four small screw holes in it. The addition of these screw holes allows you to install one or even two fans on top of the heat sink to blow cold air directly down onto your motor.
