30mm Rear Fan Mount & Pod Brace (Angled & Straight) for Schumacher Eclipse 4 / 5 / 6

Maximize motor cooling and clean up your rear pod layout with these integrated 30mm fan mounts, tailored specifically for the Schumacher Eclipse 4, 5, and 6 1/12th scale pan car platforms.  They may fit X-Ray and others.

Mounted off the pod  (unsprung weight) - not the chassis

This download includes two distinct versions depending on your preferred fan layout and wiring preferences:

1. Angled Version: As seen in 20260618_190244.jpg, this version positions the fan at an inward angle to blow high-velocity air straight through the stator openings and endbell.  It also provides slightly more prtection to the blades from a rear bump by a competitor
2. Straight Version: As shown in 20251118_230754 (1).jpg, this version mounts the fan completely square and parallel to the pod, offering a traditional configuration and a distinct clearance profile.
3. A Fan guard is included to protect your fan blades in a rear collision, and the Marshalls fingers!

By bridging the left and right side bulkheads, both designs double as a rigid, lightweight structural brace for the rear pod.

⚙️ Features

• Dual Functionality: Serves as both a structural rear pod brace and a 30mm fan mount.
• Spring Tuning Relief: Features a built-in relief cutout on the brace arm (clearly visible in 20251118_230754 (1).jpg). This allows easy, unhindered tool access for adjusting your rear  spring without needing to unbolt the fan mount.
• Low-Profile Clearance: As demonstrated in 20260618_190237.jpg, the mount keeps the fan low to clear standard 1/12th body shells, maintains excellent tire clearance, and ensures zero interference with the rear axle or spur gear assembly.
• Thermal Efficiency: Keeps motor temperatures in check to eliminate fade during hot 8-minute main events.
• Wire Management Ready: Orient the fan to cleanly route fan wires away from spinning parts (see 20260618_190251.jpg).

  • Straight Version: Prints completely flat on the build plate. No supports needed.

🔩 Hardware Needed

• To Bulkheads: You will need 3mm x 4mm screws to replace the original 3mm x 2.5mm hardware on the car.
• To Fan & Grill: (X2) 3mm x 12/14 standard M3 screws (length depending on your fan thickness; usually 12mm–18mm button head screws work perfectly to go through the grill, fan, and into the mount).  I did not use brass inserts to save weight - I just use progressively longer 3mm screws - the hole is deep!
• Dont cheap out and forget the fan guard - the open rear fo the pan car puts the fan in harms way!
