Ruddog 35mm aluminium HV high speed fan

Ruddog’s 35mm aluminium HV high speed cooling fan RP-0258 closes the gap between traditional 30 mm and 40 mm fans. Providing a good compromise between air flow and a low centre of gravity, it is the perfect choice for applications with a focus on overall performance with only a small space available, for example 1/10th scale touring cars and 4WD buggies. The aluminium housing shares the rounded and countersunk design with the 30 mm and 40 mm fans RP-254 and RP-255 for a long lifetime and small installation dimensions.
