Sweet! Congrats! Enjoy!!👍 Sketer is a great truck, I'd say it's like the swiss army knife of rc's.

Welcome to the Sketer club. Smart to get some extra front arms 😉 Got some stock myself 2

I got some extra arms, turnbuckle ends, and a few other parts I've seen broken already by others in this fine group. Also gonna try the fan (I'll see how it works.. might mount differently). Got a range of batteries to try from smc, powerhobby, cnhl, and zeee - to see which ones she favors. 👍😀

I installed the fan finally... didn't mess with taking the skirt off and doing it 'proper' but it's working... albeit not sure how much of a difference it'll make if any. Seems like it needs more space on the inlet side to get air flow.

I notched a tiny bit on the receiver box and had to use an extender... but here's the install. Still gonna fix up wire mgmt a bit more

When I did a test with this setup, the motor temperature was reduced by approximately 10deg.C/20deg.F …

I'll take it! Honestly I wasn't having any heat issues with shutdowns or anything without a fan but maybe it'll help if I gear up to a 14 or 15 tooth
 
With everything stock you won’t need a fan IMO. But I changed the wheels from the stock 130mm to 150mm (which is about the same than gearing up from 13 to 15) and the motor did get significantly hotter … maybe too much for the upcoming summer temperatures.
By the way, you won’t experience any shutdowns due to high motor temperatures because there is no sensor at the motor.

Didn’t you secure the fan at all? You can easily put in one screw to secure it without taking anything off 😉

Yes I installed one m3x16 screw. Seems like it'll be plenty
