Hey guys, does anyone know where I can buy a 5v 30mm fan for my Hyperion motor? Its running a little hot with the 3-cell Lipo and I think a small fan pointed towards the 3R heatsink will do the trick......

got mine online from a computer parts store - cant remeber the name - there are several out there. like $5. just do a search on "5v 30mm fan". I used a 25mm.

Thanks...I checked three electronics stores today, but didn't find what i was looking for. did a search like you said and found these, in case anyone else might need one.

i dont have a link but 3r makes a fan connected to a heatsink for under $10.
I saw them a while back.

I saw them a while back.I checked with them first George but they have been discontinued unless you buy it with a 540 heatsink. Looks like it might be a bit too big to fit under the inner body of the ST. I have a 25mm and a 40mm right now. The 40 definately doesn't fit and the 25 that I have doesn't seem to flow enough air to keep my motor cool. Just figured the 30mm might be the best of both worlds. I'm going to see if I can locate them locally though.....seems like a waste to pay shipping costs for a part so small....

you can always try Radio Shack.
