Overview

Keep your Arrma Gorgon motor running at optimal temperatures with the RC Overhaul 40mm Motor Fan w/cover Black. This powerful cooling solution is essential for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliable performance from their RC cars. Whether you're a seasoned basher enjoying weekend sessions or someone exploring the exciting world of RC cars UK, maintaining proper motor temperature is crucial for longevity and consistent performance. The Gorgon is a popular 1/10 scale monster truck, and this dedicated cooling system ensures your motor stays in peak condition during extended use.

Designed specifically for the Arrma Gorgon platform, this active cooling fan represents a practical upgrade that delivers measurable benefits. The compact 40mm fan combines effective airflow with robust engineering, making it an ideal choice for anyone serious about protecting their RC investment. Active cooling technology helps prevent thermal throttling, maintains consistent power delivery, and extends motor lifespan—all critical factors for reliable RC performance. This is particularly important for high-demand applications where your motor works hard and generates significant heat during extended running sessions.

Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications to your chassis. The aluminium protection cover serves a dual purpose: it shields the fan while providing a solid mounting surface that screws directly into the existing chassis fitment holes above the motor. Power delivery is equally simple, with a ready-to-use connector that plugs into any spare receiver port, activating automatically when you power up your RC vehicle. This plug-and-play approach makes it accessible to RC hobbyists of all skill levels, whether you're upgrading an existing Gorgon or building a complete setup.

Key Features

• Powerful 40mm Fan — The compact yet effective 40mm fan delivers substantial airflow to keep motor temperatures under control during intense RC driving sessions, preventing thermal damage and performance degradation.
• Aluminium Protection Cover Plate — The robust aluminium cover protects the spinning fan while providing a secure mounting surface that screws directly through into the chassis fitment holes above your motor, eliminating any need for additional brackets or modifications.
• Receiver-Powered Operation — The fan connects to a spare port on your receiver, activating instantly when you power on your RC car with no additional switches, timers, or setup required—true plug-and-play convenience.
• Direct Chassis Mounting — Designed to utilise existing Gorgon chassis fitment holes, this fan integrates seamlessly without requiring any custom drilling, modifications, or separate mounting hardware.
• Immediate Activation — The fan runs automatically as soon as your car is switched on, providing active cooling from the moment your motor starts drawing current, ensuring optimal temperatures throughout your driving session.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul 40mm Motor Fan is engineered specifically for the Arrma Gorgon platform, a popular 1/10 scale 2WD monster truck known for robust performance and demanding power requirements. Active cooling is critical for monster truck applications where sustained high-current draw generates considerable motor heat. The 40mm fan size represents the optimal balance between cooling effectiveness and package constraints on the Gorgon chassis, delivering meaningful airflow without adding excessive weight or bulk. The aluminium cover plate construction provides excellent strength-to-weight characteristics whilst offering reliable protection and a precision mounting surface. The receiver-powered design means the fan operates directly from your radio control system without any additional controllers, timers, or power management circuitry—simplicity and reliability are paramount in RC applications where every component must work flawlessly. This fan is compatible with all major Gorgon variants including the standard MT RTR models, the Gorgon MT MEGA 550 2WD variants, and the Ready-To-Assemble Kit versions, making it a universally applicable upgrade across the entire Gorgon platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this fan work with my Arrma Gorgon monster truck? — Yes, this RC Overhaul 40mm Motor Fan is designed specifically for Arrma Gorgon platforms across all variants, including standard RTR models, MEGA 550 versions, and Ready-To-Assemble kits. Simply verify your model number matches the compatibility list provided.
• How difficult is it to install this motor fan on my RC car? — Installation is very straightforward and accessible to all skill levels. The aluminium cover plate screws directly into the existing chassis fitment holes above your motor using the fasteners provided, and the fan connector simply plugs into any spare receiver port. No custom drilling, modifications, or specialist tools are required.
• Does this fan need a separate battery or power source? — No, the fan draws power directly from your receiver through a spare port, meaning it activates automatically whenever your RC car is powered on. There are no additional batteries, timers, switches, or separate power management systems needed.
• Why should I add active cooling to my Gorgon? — Motor cooling is essential for protecting your investment and maintaining consistent performance. During intense driving sessions, especially in warm weather or during high-current applications, motor temperatures can rise significantly. Active cooling prevents thermal throttling, maintains peak power delivery, extends motor lifespan, and ensures reliable operation throughout extended RC driving sessions.
• What battery voltage and capacity does my Gorgon need for this fan? — The fan is powered through your receiver, which is fed by your standard Gorgon battery. Most Gorgon RTR models use 8.4v NiMH batteries or 2S LiPo equivalents. The fan draws minimal current and will work with any receiver-compatible battery system already in your vehicle.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is an ideal upgrade for beginners because installation requires no technical expertise, no modification to the chassis, and no additional programming or setup. Simply mount it using the existing holes and plug the connector in—it will work immediately.
• What is the difference between active cooling and simply allowing natural airflow? — Active cooling with a powered fan continuously circulates air across the motor regardless of your vehicle's speed or direction, maintaining consistent cooling throughout all driving conditions. Natural airflow only functions effectively when the vehicle is moving forward at speed, meaning your motor can overheat during slower driving, technical sections, or when stationary. Active cooling provides superior thermal management in all scenarios.
