Would this crack make it not waterproof ?

[idkhow101]

Just installed a new fan for my motor but I'm wondering about the rx box. Would this gap from my fan wire un waterproof it?

That opening will allow moisture in because the o-ring will not seat properly. Run those wires in through the front where the others are and you will be good to go

only problem is the wire isn't long enough.. ill see if i can strech em a bit lol

[O.G.]

You can probably adapt a servo extension to fit if you need more length.

What does the wire attach to? A telemetry sensor?

No luck getting it around, wires just to short.. It is a cooling fan

Use a servo extension wire.

[idkhow101]

Ok.... What's that? It's comes with an extra wire that you can plug the end of the fan wire into it and then then other end is open 2 wires .. Would that work?

plug it into the red connector on the left side of the esc. That is made to plug the esc cooling fan into so it should work fine. If not use an extension wire like others have said

Here is one

Or just re-mount the fan so the wire is coming out of it facing the ESC box. Of course having it open like in the first pic allows water to get in, it's open! You must run it through the same way all the wires come out, and if you need an extension it's certainly worth the $2 in parts from an LHS to make it work!

I wouldn't suggest plugging it in to the ESC because that is only powered when the ESC needs it I believe, not all times.

^ the wires have the same end...

My fan runs all the time when plugged into the esc plug...

Interesting, I ran the VXL-3S and Velineon 3500 on my mini e-revo and the fan never came on, the VXL was always cold to the touch. Maybe there are software changes between ours, who knows... hope it works out for the OP!

Well guys, i got it. What i ended up doing is the taking the extra wire that comes with it. (the wire has the plug in where you can plug the already connector of the esc/ the main connector for the fan into it. On the other end is two wires. All i did is pluged the esc into that end and took the other two open wires, put red in red black in black and electrical taped the heck out of it. i then shoved it under by the battery wires. For now im not sure that the esc needs it, its never past a little warm to the touch but the motor gets a bit hot... This motor and esc will only have to do my probably into the summer so i can get my new motor and esc which will probabably end up being the tenshock sc401+ WP SC8! Can't wait!

As always guys, thanks for everyone who helped in this thread once again!

Lol go for it... I dunno when talkin about electronics, that the phrase, electrical taped the heck out of it... is a good thing?

My fan runs all the time when plugged into the esc plug...

same here, with my stock TRX fan.
