Key Features

• Powerful 40mm fan — This compact yet effective fan provides strong airflow directly over your motor to actively dissipate heat during running. The larger 40mm diameter ensures efficient cooling performance without adding significant weight to your RC car, making it ideal for both casual bashing and competitive track sessions.
• Aluminium protection cover plate — The integrated aluminium protection cover shields the spinning fan from debris, mud, grass and other obstacles commonly encountered during off-road RC driving. This protective design is crucial for durability and longevity, especially when running in rough terrain or wet conditions typical of UK trails and parks.
• Simple chassis-mount installation — Installation is straightforward and requires no soldering or complex modifications. The fan unit screws directly through the aluminium cover plate into the existing chassis fitment holes positioned above your motor, ensuring secure mounting with no modifications needed to your Arrma Gorgon.
• Automatic receiver-port connection — Simply plug the fan connector into a spare port on your receiver, and the fan runs automatically whenever your RC car is powered on. This means full cooling benefits from the moment you activate your transmitter—no additional wiring, switches, or manual control required.
• Red colour finish — The vibrant red finish matches perfectly with many Arrma Gorgon variants and adds a professional appearance to your upgrade. The colour-coordinated design integrates seamlessly with your existing RC setup whilst clearly identifying it as a performance upgrade.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul 40mm Motor Fan is engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of 1/10 scale RC vehicles like the Arrma Gorgon 2WD monster truck. Motor cooling is absolutely critical during extended running sessions, particularly when using higher-performance brushless motors or pushing your RC car hard during competitive bashing. The 40mm diameter fan provides optimal airflow without creating excessive noise or consuming significant power from your receiver battery or voltage regulator. The aluminium protection cover is precision-engineered to channel cooling air directly over the motor whilst shielding delicate fan blades from rocks, soil, and debris encountered in authentic off-road RC environments. The entire assembly is lightweight and compact, ensuring it doesn't negatively impact your RC car's weight distribution, centre of gravity, or handling characteristics. The connector is specifically designed for direct integration with Arrma receiver spare ports, eliminating any compatibility concerns and ensuring reliable power delivery throughout your driving sessions. Whether you're running a standard brushed motor or upgrading to brushless power, this fan will help maintain optimal motor temperature and preserve component longevity through seasons of hard RC action.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the RC Overhaul 40mm Motor Fan suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is one of the most beginner-friendly upgrades available for RC cars in the UK market. There's no soldering, no ESC programming, and no technical knowledge required—simply screw it in place and plug it into your receiver. Even newcomers to the RC hobby can install this fan in under five minutes, making it an excellent first upgrade choice.
• Will this fan work with my standard brushed Arrma Gorgon motor? — Yes, the 40mm fan provides equally effective cooling for both brushed and brushless motors. Brushed motors typically run hotter during extended sessions, so this fan is particularly beneficial for keeping temperatures in check during long bashing days without needing to upgrade your entire drivetrain.
• Does the fan require a separate battery or power source? — No. The fan draws power directly from the spare receiver port, meaning it operates automatically whenever your RC car is turned on. There are no separate batteries, switches, or additional wiring required—complete simplicity of operation.
• How does this compare to other motor cooling solutions for RC cars? — The RC Overhaul 40mm Motor Fan offers outstanding value compared to alternative cooling methods. Whilst heatsink fans from other manufacturers like GPM Racing may offer additional cooling capacity, the RC Overhaul solution is specifically engineered for Arrma Gorgon fitment with simpler installation. The aluminium cover provides better debris protection than many competing designs, and the automatic receiver connection is more convenient than solutions requiring manual activation.
• What happens if the fan gets clogged with mud or grass during off-road running? — The aluminium protection cover minimises debris accumulation, but like all RC cooling fans, periodic cleaning is recommended after particularly muddy sessions. A quick rinse with water and a soft brush will restore optimal airflow. The robust aluminium design resists damage from impacts and rough handling.
• Is this fan waterproof? — The fan assembly is splash-resistant during normal RC use, though care should be taken to avoid fully submerging the unit in water. For muddy trail running and damp UK weather conditions, this fan is perfectly suitable and will continue performing reliably through standard RC driving scenarios.
