blackout xte pro esc fan upgrade (5v to 12v) - 35mm?
According to the warning label on the esc wire, I have to change the current fan to 12v fan if I want to run 7-9 nimh or 3s batteries.
Oddly, nothing is mentioned about the fan specs (LxWxH) on the website or in the manual. Not even recommending or offering fans that would work with the esc.
I measured with my ruler and it came to around 3.2-3.4cm? 32-34mm. Did I measure it correctly? If yes, then do I need to find a 35mm fan?
I do not have soldering tools so I would like to just unplug the old one and plug in the new one.

Nevermind! I didn't realize I was measuring the protective cover case(?) fan. I thought wrong. I removed 4 screws, took the top cover off, and found the fan. It is 30mm / 7.4v.

I bought one that was the closest and cheapest I could find. Yeah Racing YA-0256. Unfortunately it seem to have been discontinued.
