AB Racing have introduced their dual cooling fans especially designed for the use with 1/8th scale vehicles. Designed, manufactured and assembled in Australia from local and imported products, the clever design utilises CNC-machined 6061 T6 aluminium mounts and a simple, but secure mounting system.

The fans used are rated at 19.4 CFM – combined CFM of 38.8 for both fans – with a total of 18 watts of power for both fans combined. The fans can be powered directly with a 2S 7.4V or 3S 11.1V LiPo battery. The mount is designed to fit standard 1/8th scale motors with a 42-40mm motor diameter. The CNC machined aluminium mount helps draw heat from the motor and provide a strong mounting platform for the fans.
