Overview

The RC Overhaul Fan (M-RCO-FAN05) is a compact and versatile cooling solution designed for RC enthusiasts across the UK who need reliable thermal management for their models. Whether you're running a high-performance RC car, truck, buggy, or any other RC vehicle that generates heat during operation, this 40x40x10mm fan delivers effective cooling in a space-efficient package. This is an ideal upgrade for anyone looking to extend the operational life of their electronics and maintain consistent performance during extended RC sessions at the track or off-road.

With its compact 40x40x10mm footprint, the RC Overhaul cooling fan fits neatly into tight spaces where conventional cooling solutions would prove impractical. The fan operates across a 5–7V input range, making it compatible with most standard RC receiver power supplies and battery configurations commonly used in the UK RC hobby. This versatility means you can integrate it into almost any RC setup without requiring additional power regulation or complex wiring modifications, making it an excellent choice for both experienced RC racers and those new to the hobby.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the factory-fitted JST plug mounted on a generous 280mm lead, allowing you to connect directly to your receiver for convenient power delivery. The four corner mounting points with M3 screw compatibility provide secure installation options, ensuring the fan stays in place even during aggressive driving or competitive racing. Whether you're cooling an ESC, motor, or receiver electronics, this fan offers a practical and reliable solution that delivers real-world performance benefits.

Key Features

• 5–7V Input Range — This flexible voltage specification means the fan can draw power directly from standard RC receiver supplies, making it compatible with a wide range of battery configurations and power systems used in RC cars, buggies, trucks and crawlers across the UK without requiring step-down converters or additional regulation.
• Factory-Fitted JST Plug with 280mm Lead — The pre-installed JST connector eliminates the need for soldering or complex electrical modifications, allowing you to plug the fan directly into your receiver for immediate operation and easy installation in minutes rather than hours.
• Compact 40x40x10mm Form Factor — The small dimensions mean the fan can be mounted in confined spaces where traditional cooling solutions simply won't fit, making it ideal for modern compact RC vehicles and electronic enclosures that demand space efficiency.
• Four Corner Mounting Points — With mounting holes positioned at each corner, you have multiple secure attachment options using standard M3 screws, allowing flexible positioning to direct airflow precisely where cooling is needed most.
• M3 Screw Compatible Mounting — The use of standard M3 fasteners means you can source replacement hardware easily from any RC hobby shop or general supplier, ensuring long-term serviceability and repair capability without proprietary components.
• Versatile Application Compatibility — Suitable for cooling ESCs, motor assemblies, receivers and other heat-generating components across virtually any RC platform, from high-speed 1/10 scale buggies to 1/8 scale trucks and everything in between.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul cooling fan delivers genuine performance benefits through thoughtful engineering designed specifically for the demands of RC hobby use. Operating at 5–7 volts, the fan draws minimal current from your receiver's power supply whilst providing effective air circulation to dissipate heat from critical electronic components. The 280mm lead provides sufficient cable length to reach typical receiver locations in most RC vehicle chassis layouts, whether you're running a tight 1/10 scale stadium truck, a sprawling 1/8 scale buggy, or anything in between. The four corner mounting points with M3 compatibility offer flexibility for installation angles and positions, allowing you to direct airflow across ESC heatsinks, motor casings, or receiver electronics as needed. The compact 40x40x10mm footprint makes this fan particularly valuable in modern RC vehicles where space is at a premium and conventional cooling solutions prove incompatible with tight electronic enclosures. Build quality reflects RC Overhaul's reputation for reliable products that withstand the vibration, moisture and thermal cycling inherent to competitive RC use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this cooling fan on my RC car if I'm new to the hobby? — Yes, absolutely. The RC Overhaul fan is one of the easiest cooling upgrades to install. The pre-fitted JST plug simply connects to your receiver, and the four corner mounting points with M3 screws provide secure installation without requiring soldering, electrical expertise, or technical knowledge. Even complete beginners can install this in minutes.
• What voltage battery do I need for this cooling fan? — The fan operates across 5–7 volts, which means it draws power directly from your RC receiver's battery input. You don't need a separate battery or additional power regulation — simply plug it in and it works with standard RC battery configurations across 2S, 3S and larger LiPo packs that power your receiver.
• Where can I mount this fan on my RC vehicle? — The compact 40x40x10mm size and four corner mounting points make this fan suitable for mounting near heat sources throughout your RC setup. Common locations include directly over ESC heatsinks to improve thermal dissipation, near motor casings on vehicles with enclosed motors, or adjacent to receiver electronics packages where space permits. The 280mm lead provides flexibility to position the fan away from your receiver itself.
• Will this fan fit in tight RC chassis designs? — Yes, the 40x40x10mm footprint is specifically designed for space-constrained applications. This makes it compatible with modern compact RC vehicles that use integrated electronic trays or tight chassis designs where larger cooling fans simply won't fit. If you've struggled to find cooling solutions for your specific RC platform, this fan's small size makes it an excellent option.
• Can I use different mounting holes or orientations? — Absolutely. The four corner mounting points give you complete flexibility to position and angle the fan as needed. You can mount it horizontally, vertically, or at angles to direct airflow precisely where you need cooling most. Standard M3 screws secure the fan in whichever position delivers optimal cooling for your specific application.
• What RC applications is this fan suitable for? — The RC Overhaul fan works across virtually any RC platform where electronic cooling provides performance benefits. This includes 1/10 scale buggies, stadium trucks, short-course trucks, crawlers, and monster trucks. It's equally valuable on 1/8 scale racing buggies and trucks. If your RC vehicle generates heat during operation and has space for a compact cooling fan, this fan will improve electronics reliability and longevity.
