Key Features
- Compact 2510 Form Factor — The 24.5 x 24.5 x 10mm (length x width x height) dimensions ensure this cooling fan fits into confined spaces within your RC chassis without requiring extensive modifications or taking up valuable mounting real estate where other components need to sit.
- High-Speed 10,000 RPM Operation — Running at 10,000 RPM when powered by 5V, this fan generates substantial airflow to extract heat away from your ESC during demanding driving conditions, maintaining throttle response and power delivery consistency across extended running sessions.
- 5V Power Supply — The 5V operating voltage means the fan integrates easily with standard receiver voltage systems found in most RC car setups, eliminating the need for additional power conditioning or specialist wiring solutions.
- Low Current Draw — With a maximum current consumption of just 0.13A, this fan places minimal demand on your receiver battery and power distribution systems, allowing you to add cooling without compromising overall system efficiency or runtime.
- Lightweight Construction — Weighing only 7.2g, the 2510SH adds negligible mass to your RC vehicle, ensuring cooling benefits without negative impacts on handling characteristics, weight distribution or battery runtime.
- 30mm Wire Lead — The 30mm wire length provides practical connection distance from your ESC to the fan's mounting location, allowing flexible positioning whilst maintaining clean wiring throughout your chassis.
- Professional-Grade Cooling — Hobbywing's engineering expertise ensures efficient blade design and motor construction deliver effective thermal management, preventing thermal throttling and maintaining ESC reliability during competitive racing or extended bashing sessions.
Technical Performance
The Hobbywing 2510SH represents precision cooling engineering in miniature form. Built to Hobbywing's strict quality standards, this fan delivers professional thermal management capabilities suitable for both competitive RC racing applications and recreational use across the UK. The compact 24.5 x 24.5 x 10mm dimensions position it as an ideal solution for tight ESC mounting locations without sacrificing cooling performance. Running at 10,000 RPM from a standard 5V receiver supply, the fan generates substantial airflow measured in cubic feet per minute, effectively extracting heat from your Quicrun 10BL120 ESC or compatible Hobbywing speed controllers. The 0.13A current draw ensures negligible impact on your receiver battery and overall power distribution system, meaning you can add professional-grade cooling without compromising runtime or forcing additional battery upgrades. The lightweight 7.2g construction reflects modern RC design philosophy where every gram matters, ensuring the cooling benefits are not offset by increased vehicle mass that would negatively impact acceleration, handling response or battery efficiency. The 30mm wire lead provides practical installation flexibility, allowing the fan to be positioned optimally for airflow direction across your ESC's heatsink whilst maintaining organised wiring within your chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Hobbywing 2510SH fan suitable for all ESC types? — The 2510SH is specifically designed for Hobbywing Quicrun 10BL120 ESCs, though it may be compatible with other Hobbywing brushless controllers. Always verify fan connector type against your specific ESC model before purchase to ensure proper fitment and safe operation.
- What voltage does this cooling fan require? — The 2510SH operates on a 5V power supply, drawing just 0.13A during operation. This voltage is standard across receiver channels in most RC car setups, meaning installation typically requires simple connection to an available receiver channel without additional voltage conversion equipment.
- How much does this fan weigh and will it affect my RC car's handling? — At just 7.2g, the 2510SH adds negligible weight to your RC vehicle. This lightweight construction ensures thermal cooling benefits without negative impacts on acceleration, braking response, cornering characteristics or battery runtime.
- Will the 2510SH fit in my chassis? — With dimensions of 24.5 x 24.5 x 10mm (length x width x height), this is a compact fan designed for tight installation spaces. The 30mm wire lead provides practical connection distance, though you should verify available mounting space near your ESC before ordering.
- Why is ESC cooling important for RC cars? — Electronic speed controllers generate significant heat during operation, particularly during high-throttle runs or extended racing sessions. Active cooling prevents thermal throttling where the ESC reduces power output to protect itself, maintains consistent power delivery, extends component lifespan, and ensures reliable operation in competitive environments or demanding recreational use.
- What is the difference between this fan and larger cooling solutions? — The 2510SH's compact form factor makes it ideal for chassis with limited mounting space, whilst still delivering meaningful thermal management through its 10,000 RPM operation. Larger fans provide greater airflow volume but require more installation space and draw higher current, making the 2510SH the preferred choice for space-constrained applications.
