Dual fan install ?

[jerv1958]

When installing dual cooling fan do you have to use a splitter or can you use the aux and battery port on the receiver ? And can you make your own splitter if you have the ability and want to ?

You don't have to use a splitter, but by doing so you are only running 1 wire to the receiver or if the esc has a fan plug, to that. I use splitters on most of mine. You can just run them individually to the receiver and plug each one into one of the open ports.

Thank you !

Is there one particular type or are there different applications for different receivers ?

A splitter is ok when you are limited on ports on your receiver.

Most receivers use the Futaba style plugs, and JST style connectors on the fan ends.

I'm in hot Florida. Expecting 2 of these today for my typhons. Can't risk over heating.

Y-splitter is fine but make sure you do not overload the BEC. No matter where you plug in, the servo is your main drain (3-4A) and you only have ~ 1-1.5A for accessories on a 5A BEC. Also, don't increase the voltage if it damages the fans or the servo.
