Feel free to let us know when your 40 dollar controller melts and your fans stop working. I will bet that happens long before mine. I would also imagine your rad will pop a leak before the fans have a chance to break as I have seen in your other thread you have mounted them through the core.

Good luck and sleep well knowing you bought the cheapest set up you could find.
Just an FYI, 2 of my Troyer / Derale controllers from my Troyer kit burned out....The mounting kit that Troyer supplied with his fan kit wore holes into my radiator and caused leaking and the need for a new radiator.

I think I paid well over $400 plus shipping for a kit that wasn't very reliable or dependable and now I need a new radiator...all and all with the cost of the replacement controllers and new radiator it wound up costing me serveral hundred more on top of the initial $400....

I certainly wish I would have gotten better quality and longevity out of the expensive fan kit I bought...

I guess better doesn't always cost more.......

Just my .02 cents
