Re: Fan Power

Greg,

We use a spike to control the fans. We place the KOP fans over the drive train motors to increase air flow over the motor casings. Cool air over the motors really helps out if you run hot especially in practice mode. Anything you can do to cool the motors down will increase your efficiency.


Roy
