Notorious Anyone know to to hook up power Hobby fans?

[Thatonekid286]

I went to my local hobby shop looking for motor fan suggestions. He sold me the power hobby heat sink with dual fans setup and told me it plugs into the receiver. It came with no instructions and I can’t find a guide online as to how it connects. The receiver only has 4 ports: Bind, Steering, Throttle, Aux. Each one has 3 pins, the plugs on the fan only have 2. I plugged 1 fan in and no matter how it’s connected with the power on the fan never turns on. I know it’s a simple issue but I am having trouble. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The two pins connected are the wrong ones. You need a y adapter

The fans get connected to the same connection the esc fan gets connected to. You can use a y connector. I made my own but there are options to just buy them pre made.

My powerhobby fans came with a y adapter. You have to make sure the ground (black) wire is on the outside most pin

I just installed those on my Kraton. No instructions came with. Make sure the fans are mounted open side up or the blade won’t turn. My kit came with a y adapter but my receiver had 5 channels so I didn’t use it. The fans will only operate if plugged in the right way and only utilize the power and ground terminals On the receiver.

I was asking the same question about where to plug them into my kit came with a y adapter so do I just make sure the black wire is on the outside?

Turn your truck on and plug it in. If it's right the fans will spin, if it's wrong, unplug and rotate. That's how I got it

Wish radio manufacturers would stick to the same wire colors. Red and black for positive and negative (hot and ground whatever) and whatever color of the rainbow their little hearts desire for signal. Spektrum's are especially obnoxious thankfully doesn't seem to hurt much as long as you don't leave em that way.
