Status: offline 		Just got my second electric 1/8 scale buggy. This one has a Hobbywing EZrun 150 and a Turnigy 2650 motor. Everything was new when i purchased it, the problem is the fan on the esc. I run on 4s and when i turn the esc on the fan doesnt always start. I would say the majority of the time it doesnt. If it doesnt and i give it a little push with an alen wrench it winds up nicely. Is the fan supposed to always come on? Is it temperature controlled? The fan plugs into the esc, should i solder a servo connector on and run the fan off the receiver instead? I cant seem to find any replacement fans for it, but its new, should i need to replace it. I could really use some help before i drive myself crazy over this.

Says so right in the user manual.  Might want to look to see what yours says.

that fan is setup for 4s.
I do believe its supposed to come on all the time. Sounds like its either binding on the case...or there is a "dead" spot on the windings.

If its new, id see is I could get a replacement unit.

If its dead and you hobby shop don't have one .have a look at your local pc shop. I've replaced mine with a small ever cool pc fan before and it worked fine
