Cheers Brett. I run a fan on mine with a 7.0 on high traction, but didn't with an 8.5 over the winter on our lower traction tracks.

Run yours without fan and check temps, both via touch and using the program box to read esc temp after the run.

The fans have bronze bushings, not bearings, hence the noise. Easy to replace with a higher quality fan. some of the branded fans are the same though, with a different sticker. I've found the orca, WTF and yokomo racing performer fans are best quality, which is reflected in the price.
