I took it apart and it all seems connected. I also heard back from Horizon today and they said I need to do a service request and there's no replacements until April. Also they want a minimum of $11.99 for return shipping, which kind of shocked me as the fan would be cheaper to just replace myself.
They pulled some stuff like that with me a little while back but folded when I applied some pressure. I told them that it seems a little silly to be shipping parts back and forth when it's already known to be defective and asked if they could just send a new one. They did, but never told me they were going to. I don't know how that would work with parts that aren't in stock though.
Find a WTF fan that is the same size as the stock one, it however will most likely run off the receiver instead of the esc, just plug it right into any open spot on the receiver. And just quick tip, when plugging things into the receiver it is always black on the outside, one to turn two to burn.
That was going to be my next question. The actual fan is 10mm X 10mm, but could be a little bigger if I didn't use the housing. Should I just screw the fan to the ESC or use the stock housing? EDIT: stock fan is 25X25mm, no clue how I measured 10X10mm.
You can screw it right to the esc, might need some 3mmx0.5mm spacers just so the screws don't bottom out or use a slightly shorter screw.
Oh man, I have no idea what that is called.
Do you have experience with this esc going bad? How long do they usually last? I try to stay away from puddles and such but I'm worried that after I receive my replacement motor from arrma, the next thing to break will be the esc...
Mine and everyone else..
