As for the cooling fan, I purchased the speedo because of sensorless design, I thought that there would be no temp issues so there would be no need for a fan, but I was mistaken.
Anyway I'm very frustrated at the moment and I'm in contact with Tekin. A speed control is not a cheap machine to destroy! Let's see what they will say, I have the feeling that they are very good with after sales service. But have you seen anyone using it in their touring cars, because I haven't and there should be a good reason for that!
I'll keep you informed if I have good news, or else, forget about it and never look back. Sorry, but the last thing I wanted when I purchased the speedo was a headache!

Fabien Simoni has been using one, Russ Williams is helping with developement too. Also, something Fabien found, is that some of the brushless motors have a lot of end float on the rotor and that causes issue's of heat, but if it was hot, and your running 3.5t (was it 5 or 6 cell) you still MAY need to run the fan.
