Overview
The Traxxas Dual Cooling Fan Kit with Low-Profile Shroud (TRX3474X) is an essential upgrade for RC enthusiasts who demand peak motor performance during extended bashing sessions. Designed specifically to fit the #3491 motor, this cooling solution is engineered for Traxxas XRT models and represents a significant investment in thermal management for serious RC car UK operators. Whether you're running your brushless RC vehicle competitively or just enjoying high-speed weekend bashing, maintaining optimal motor temperature is crucial for consistent performance, reliability and longevity.
This low-profile dual fan kit combines twin cooling fans with a purpose-designed shroud to work seamlessly with the 3362X low-profile aluminium heat sink. The compact design ensures that cooling performance doesn't compromise ground clearance or impact vehicle geometry, making it ideal for vehicles where space is at a premium. If you've experienced throttle cutouts due to motor overheating, or noticed performance degradation during long runs, this cooling kit will transform your RC experience by keeping your motor in the optimal operating temperature range throughout your session.
Traxxas has built an outstanding reputation for producing reliable, high-performance RC products across the UK and globally. This dual cooling fan kit exemplifies their commitment to quality and practicality. For anyone running an XRT VXL-8S or XRT Ultimate model, this is a must-have accessory that will extend motor life, improve consistency and unlock the full potential of your brushless setup.
Key Features
- Dual Fan Design — Two cooling fans work together to provide superior thermal dissipation compared to single-fan alternatives, ensuring your motor stays cool even during continuous high-throttle driving and competitive racing sessions on British tracks.
- Low-Profile Construction — The compact shroud design maintains ground clearance and doesn't interfere with suspension geometry, suspension travel or overall vehicle balance, which is essential for maintaining the handling characteristics of your RC car.
- Integrated Shroud — The purpose-built shroud directs airflow precisely where it's needed most, maximising cooling efficiency and preventing hot spots from developing on critical motor components.
- Compatible with 3362X Heat Sink — Designed to work with the existing 3362X low-profile aluminium heat sink, this kit upgrades your cooling system without requiring complete replacement of your thermal management setup.
- Includes Mounting Hardware — Eight screws are included in the package, providing everything needed for secure installation without additional parts shopping or visits to your local hobby shop.
- OEM Traxxas Quality — Built to the same exacting standards as the rest of your Traxxas vehicle, ensuring durability, reliability and a perfect fit every time you install or reinstall the cooling system.
Technical Performance
The dual cooling fan kit represents Traxxas's engineering approach to thermal management for high-performance brushless motors. By pairing two fans with the low-profile shroud design, this system creates efficient airflow patterns that extract heat from the motor windings and case, distributing it away from critical components. The low-profile construction is particularly important for modern RC vehicles, as it eliminates the need to compromise suspension travel or ground clearance whilst maintaining thermal performance. The aluminium heat sink combined with the dual-fan design creates a synergistic cooling solution that keeps brushless motors operating in their optimal temperature window, which typically ranges between 40-60°C depending on ambient conditions and load. This sustained optimal operating temperature translates directly to longer motor lifespan, more consistent throttle response, and reduced risk of ESC or motor thermal cutouts during extended bashings or competitive RC racing in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models does this cooling fan kit fit? — This TRX3474X kit is specifically designed for Traxxas XRT VXL-8S models in all available colours (blue, orange, green, black) and Traxxas XRT Ultimate models (blue and green variants). It fits the #3491 motor and works seamlessly with the 3362X low-profile aluminium heat sink that comes equipped on these vehicles.
- Will this cooling kit improve my RC car's performance? — Absolutely. By maintaining lower, more consistent motor temperatures, this dual fan system prevents thermal throttling and ESC cutouts that occur when motors overheat. You'll experience more consistent power delivery, longer runtime without temperature-related performance loss, and the ability to push your vehicle harder for longer periods without worrying about motor damage.
- Is the low-profile design really as effective as traditional larger coolers? — Yes. Traxxas engineered this specifically to provide excellent cooling performance whilst maintaining the low-profile geometry that modern RC vehicles require. The dual-fan design compensates for the compact shroud dimensions, delivering superior thermal management compared to older single-fan solutions.
- How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance skills. The kit includes all necessary mounting screws, and it's designed to bolt directly onto the existing 3362X heat sink. Most users can complete installation in 10-15 minutes with a standard screwdriver.
- Can I use this cooling kit on other Traxxas vehicles? — This kit is specifically designed for the #3491 motor and works with the 3362X heat sink. Whilst other Traxxas vehicles may use similar motors and heat sinks, always verify compatibility before purchasing to ensure proper fit and functionality.
- How much does this cooling upgrade cost? — At RC Model Shop, we offer competitive pricing on all Traxxas accessories. This dual cooling fan kit represents excellent value when you consider the motor protection and performance benefits it provides.
