Scorpion 40mm High Speed Cooling Fan
Depending on the circumstances some models might have their Scorpion Tribunus 200 or 300A ESC running a little hot. These factors could be
If you have one or more of these factors on your model then you might benefit from a little added cooling to your Scorpion ESC. Luckily Scorpion now has a great new product for you!
We introduce the Scorpion 40mm High Speed Cooling fan
After much testing of standard consumer computer fans Scorpion decided that they were not powerful enough or not fit for the rigors of RC helicopter flying. In aggressive flying or particularly crashes the normal computer fans would break apart, or at the best quickly wear out causing noisy operation. After this realization Scorpion set out to create their own cooling fan which was designed to endure this type of situations. The result is the new 40mm High Speed Cooling Fan.
This Cooling fan has an aluminum body which can handle this type of aggressive flying. In addition it has 2 tone black and gold anodizing which gives it a very good appearance and high quality look. This cooling fan spins at 16,000 RPM @ 8.4V which provides TONS of airflow over your ESC.
Check out the video from Kyle Dahl where he reviews this new Cooling Fan, and also does comparative testing to see how much temperature difference you get when using the fan vs not using the fan. Very impressive results!
This Cooling Fan is available now so make sure you consider it for your Scorpion Tribunus 200A or 300A ESC!

Hello Scorpion customers and Happy New Years! We look forward to a great 2020 and wish everyone many happy and safe flights.
To help accomplish that, we would like to give you all some very important safety advice when using the bailout feature of the Scorpion Tribunus ESC’s. The Scorpion bailout is a feature where you can set a Throttle Hold which has 2 positions. The first position bringing the throttle output percentage to ~15%, and then the 2nd position taking it all the way to 0%.
The first position will turn off the motor, but it will keep it in “Bailout Mode” which means if you click the switch back to Run, the ESC will spool up very quickly (few seconds). This allows you to save your model from a bad autorotation if needed. Then the 2nd position (0%) will turn off the motor and also put it back into standard spool up speed.
The advice we have to give is that if you use the “Bailout” mode to do an autorotation or land your model, before going to pick up your model, or think about spooling up again to take off again you MUST FIRST put the switch to the 2nd position (0% Throttle). This will put the ESC back into standard spool up rate mode.
If you leave the model in Bailout mode, and go to pick it up and while carrying it you accidentally hit the Throttle Hold switch back to Run the model will spool up very quickly with full power in your hand and that can cause serious injury and damage to yourself and your model. Even if you try to do a spool up on the ground from the Bailout Mode this can also damage your helicopter. It can strip the gears, or will cause the model to spin around many times due to torque and can cause damage.
So please ensure that after you land your model, you always put it immediately to “Full Off” (0%) so that the ESC will not unintentionally spool up quickly if you click back to run for some reason.
With that safety notice out of the way, we wish you all again a happy 2020 and happy flying!
