We recently made some off season mini-robots and we ran all the victors without fans on them. They worked fine, the victors never shut down or went up in smoke because of heat. I know that the victors are rated to handle much more voltage. (i believe up to 48 volts??) So at 12 volts its really not hard on the victor at all. It should have no problem running at 12 volts with not fan on.
