Oh I wasn’t doubting you, I was just throwing in some input. Damn those things are wide.
 
Love it. The power this setup offers really shows itself in the lower, longer Talion, and lets me take advantage of the extra power from about 50% throttle and above. I can still power wheelie from almost any speed but it's more intentional in the Talion than is was in the Outcast. As for pinion selection, I'm on a 22 tooth but plan on gearing higher once the 46t spur gear becomes readily available that comes stock in the center diff on the Arrma Infraction. I've got a little cushion to play with right now with motor temps (150-ish), so I'm thinking that I "should" still be able to keep motor temps in check during the summer months running the smaller 46t spur, but it'll be at the upper limit. For winter I'd like to try running 24/46 gearing and see how it responds.
 
Love the high speed power wheelie. What upgrades does the talion have? Is it much heavier than stock? I want a Talion too and fab up some nice thick carbon towers and braces along with a M2C chassis.

"Bulletproof" may be premature, but I'm optimistic with what I've seen so far.
I've got a 7 day vacation bashathon starting next Saturday in the Appalachian mountains where we travel to a bunch of different spots and bash as many packs in a day as the rigs can take. That's going to be the true test for the Max6 fan mods, but I've been beating on the same one for the last 7 weeks without a failure of any kind. That's after going through 5 in the first 3 weeks. The same trip last year took out the BLX fan, servo, diff gears and a bunch of other parts throughout the week including a lipo charger, so it's really hard on the equipment. My intention was to see how long it survives during the extreme conditions it'll see in a week and then make a thread detailing what all i takes to get one to hold up for at least as long as the stock fans do.

Brief rundown is you have to round the edges of the underside of the fan guard, place a fiberglass piece of screen under that, followed by orings then the fan. But wait, there's more ...lol. You'll then need to clip the tips of each fan blade and reprofile each one with a small jewelers file. It's a lot of fun putting it all together also which makes the process a complete PITA. But I'm not breaking any fans so to me it's worth it.

Hello Mr Duke. How did you come across your dual fans for your HW4985 motor? Thanks Jeff
