hardly ever break mine and its really ruff where i runDoes anyone else having trouble with the stock fan in the BLX 185 ESC? Seams like a have to replace my fan way to often and is getting expensive
It might be how tight you tighten down the screws. If you do not put even force on the 4 screws, or you over tighten them, The frame of the fan can become bent ever so slightly and that will cause the fan blade to become out of alignment.Anyone think it could be a problem with the ESC?
Same with these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0782RHV3TI had good luck with these, they are definitely not any worse but a lot cheaper. You will have to modify the connector though.

I egged out 2 of the holes in the bottom of the fan, ran my counter sink bit in the top and used 2 flat head screws at an angle to lock it in where the cover screws would go. I used the other two cover screws to hold the cover. The wires coming out of the front seem to hold the front of the cover down towards the cap end.Great minds think alike! I installed my 30mm yesterday.
ive been thinking of clipping my esc fan too.I egged out 2 of the holes in the bottom of the fan, ran my counter sink bit in the top and used 2 flat head screws at an angle to lock it in where the cover screws would go. I used the other two cover screws to hold the cover. The wires coming out of the front seem to hold the front of the cover down towards the cap end.
Will see how it holds up. I didn't do anything that can't be undone. Worse case, I take the 35mm fan I have, clip the blade tips, put the spacer on the motor to support it and go with that.
No... thought about that after the fact.do you have a piece of screen covering the fan. the arrma covers holes allows debris in and fan failure.
What ESC? A 30mm barely reaches the 4 corners that are level with each other on the max6. I had to really try to get the screws to dig in at an angle. I wanted all 4 corners supported by the esc and at least 2 screws holding the fan in place.On my 30mm, I'm just using 1 corner screw, have sticky foam underneath and above to hold the fan in place, the other 3 screws act like a cage. Nothing stock to modify. I have to to give it a trial run and therefore no idea how it will hold up. It's more secure than the stock mounting imho.
I have mine covered with screen, not as neat and tight as it clogs up quickly with grass. I have it loose like a bubble and secured on all 4 corners.
