Das Speed (Vitamin Z / DAS Speed, Switzerland) builds precision pit and chassis hardware for 1/28 scale racing — unique cooling, charging, and upgrade parts used from club nights to international events.
Cooler motors when you push timing and boost
As racers push motor performance with increased timing, boost and turbo, motor temperature becomes a hard limit. The DAS Speed RotoFan (part DAS-0009) is an ultra-compact cooling solution for 1/28 scale where space is tight and conventional powered fans are often impractical.
Mounted directly on the motor shaft, the RotoFan generates meaningful airflow without a separate powered fan. In DAS Speed comparative testing it showed about a 10% improvement in cooling performance — helping the motor run cooler under demanding conditions.
Better temperature management can give a little more freedom when searching for performance — for example an extra tooth of gearing or a small bump in boost/turbo — depending on motor, ESC, track and overall setup. It is not about adding power directly; it is about managing the heat that limits how much performance you can safely extract.
Small size. Significant airflow. More room to push.
