Overview
Keep your RC motor running at peak performance with the RC Overhaul Motor Fan unit w/Temp Sensor and Mount in Titanium colour. This compact cooling solution is essential for any serious RC car UK enthusiast who wants to maintain consistent torque and punch during extended running sessions. Whether you're running a brushless motor in your ready to run RC car or upgrading an existing setup, this fan unit delivers professional-grade thermal management in a space-efficient design that looks fantastic too.
The cooler you keep your motor, the more torque and punch it will retain, whilst also significantly extending the longevity of your motor life. High operating temperatures can cause performance degradation and premature motor failure, but with active cooling, you'll enjoy reliable performance lap after lap. This mount is perfect if you're limited on space near or around your motor can, offering a clamp-on design that fits neatly without compromising your chassis layout or aesthetics. The Titanium anodised finish with silver chamfered edges adds a premium look to your RC build, making it as functional as it is visually appealing.
The RC Overhaul M-RCO-FAN01T is the ideal upgrade for competitive RC racers, weekend bashers, and hobby enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliable performance and long motor life. Its intelligent temperature-sensing technology means the fan works only when needed, preserving battery power whilst protecting your investment in quality RC equipment.
Key Features
- Clamp Motor Mount System (38–42mm compatibility) — This versatile mounting system accommodates motors with outer diameters between 38 and 42mm, making it compatible with a wide range of brushless and brushed motors commonly used in 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars and buggies. The clamp design allows for quick installation and removal without permanent modification to your chassis.
- 40mm Fan Unit — The compact 40mm fan provides powerful active cooling without adding significant weight or bulk to your RC setup. This size offers the perfect balance between cooling capacity and minimal impact on your vehicle's centre of gravity and handling characteristics.
- Inline Temperature Sensor — The integrated temperature sensor continuously monitors your motor's heat output and activates the fan automatically when temperatures exceed 35 degrees Celsius. This intelligent automation means your motor stays protected without you needing to manually control the fan, and it conserves battery power by only running when necessary.
- High-Powered Fan — Once activated, the fan delivers powerful airflow to rapidly dissipate heat from your motor can. This high-performance cooling ensures your motor maintains optimal operating temperature even during intense racing or bashing sessions.
- Titanium Anodised Finish — The eye-catching Titanium colour with silver chamfered edges combines durability with aesthetic appeal. The anodised finish provides corrosion resistance and looks the part on any serious RC setup, making this an upgrade that performs and looks professional.
- Space-Efficient Design — Unlike larger external cooling solutions, this compact mount allows you to maintain your vehicle's original layout and proportions. Perfect for RC cars where chassis space is at a premium, this design ensures you don't have to compromise on fit or function.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Motor Fan unit represents solid engineering for thermal management in RC applications. The 40mm fan unit is engineered to deliver high-powered cooling performance, whilst the inline temperature sensor provides intelligent activation at 35+ degrees Celsius, ensuring your motor never overheats during competition or recreational use. The clamp motor mount system is constructed to securely hold motors between 38 and 42mm outer diameter, accommodating the vast majority of modern brushless and brushed motors used in 1/10 scale and 1/8 scale RC vehicles across the UK market. The Titanium anodised aluminium construction provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, important for motors that may be exposed to wet grass, moisture, or muddy conditions during outdoor RC bashing and racing. The integration of both the fan unit and temperature sensor into a single compact assembly means minimal wiring and installation complexity, making this an accessible upgrade for those looking to improve motor longevity without significant modifications to their existing RC setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At what temperature does the RC Overhaul motor fan unit activate? — The integrated temperature sensor activates the high-powered fan automatically when motor temperatures reach 35 degrees Celsius or higher. This threshold is set to provide protection before your motor experiences performance degradation, ensuring optimal torque and punch are maintained throughout your running session.
- Is this motor fan suitable for brushless RC car motors? — Yes, absolutely. The 38–42mm motor mount accommodates both brushless and brushed motors in this size range, which covers most popular brushless setups used in 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars, buggies, and trucks across the UK. The fan's high-powered cooling is particularly beneficial for brushless motors, which can generate significant heat under load.
- Can this fan fit my ready to run RC car? — The clamp-on design makes installation straightforward on most ready to run RC cars with compatible motor sizes. The compact 40mm fan unit and space-efficient mount mean it fits neatly on vehicles where chassis space is limited, making it ideal for upgrading ready to run RC cars without major modifications.
- How does the temperature sensor work? — The inline temperature sensor continuously monitors your motor can's temperature. When the sensor detects temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, it automatically activates the fan to cool the motor. This intelligent system protects your motor from overheating whilst conserving battery power by only running the fan when needed.
- Why is active motor cooling important for RC cars? — Keeping your RC motor cool is crucial for maintaining performance and extending motor life. Cooler operating temperatures help preserve torque and punch throughout your session, prevent performance loss from thermal throttling, and significantly extend the longevity of your motor. This is why many competitive RC racers and serious enthusiasts invest in active cooling solutions.
- What is the difference between this and passive heatsinks? — Unlike passive heatsinks that rely on ambient air movement, this active fan unit with temperature sensor actively cools your motor regardless of vehicle speed. The fan activates when needed, providing superior temperature management during slow manoeuvres, idle periods, or intense racing when motor heat peaks. This active approach is more effective at maintaining consistent performance.
- Is installation difficult? — No, the clamp motor mount system is designed for straightforward installation. Simply position the mount around your motor can in the 38–42mm size range and tighten the clamp. The temperature sensor and fan come pre-integrated into the assembly, requiring minimal setup or wiring complexity.
