FWIW, the surpass/rocket alloy framed 35mm fan fits in the max6 esc's and pushes a lot more air than the OEM fan. It also holds up to chassis slap way better because the motor is supported with alloy stanchions vs the plastic ones.

I run these in all 3 of my max6's as well as the one blx185 I still have in a truck (they fit in that too):

Does it keep the esc ice cool because i run 20 45 gearing pretty high and are the fan blades aluminum?

Blades aren't, just the frame. Still holds up better than the OEM fans.

I run 21/50 in my kraton exb with the max6/4985 1650kv and 19/50 in my outcast 6s with the max6/4092 1650kv.

I run a similar setup on my Outcast 6s, last summer after a 2 back to back bash sessions without letting it cool down the max temp I saw was about 145*F outside temp was upper 80s lower 90s.

WFO Racing makes a fan shroud that holds a 40mm fan. I have a 4028 fan on my Kraton but you don't need to run that big of a fan. https://wforccustoms.com/products/max-6-fan-shroud

They don't thermal on me on a 80F day bashing in grass. My trucks only sit long enough for me to swap a pack.

There are different options and what was listed above works great are good solutions.

My case for the Max6 I removed the fan housing and used the sliver part made from a user here for a 40mm fan and placed that on top of my ESC. This is a battery powered setup not running off the ESC.

Will not use the term icey but it does keep it cool enough for my bash since it is a 3S powered fan so move a lot more air.

Yeah too bad shipping costs more than the mount does.

Hey I got one of these for my Xmaxx to mount a 40mmx28mm fan like yours appears to be. Any idea on screw length needed?

With my fan guard the screws I used measure 35mm.

And Idk if I got a bad one or what but mine broke. There are hollow spots all over the place in this thing which I am fairly certain had a lot to do with the breakage.

I'm just going to get one of @Camaroboy383 fan mounts.
