Fans do take a bit of time to move the heat out of the area with the motor, whats an easy way of speeding this up? Add a heat sink. How? Take some copper or the best heat conducting material you can find, and wrap some of the motor in it. Add a fan or two, and it'll run nice and smooth. The kit muffin fans are good enough, if you wanna go and deck your robot out in all fancy computer case fans, check the electronics rules first, and check the connections on them.

I have a question for you we have plugged in fans to a main source of power and now they are burnt out would u have any clue why?
