A little funny to see that these are now more expensive in China (Aliexpress) compared to local stock. Good find!
They do last, but they are not indestructible.

I prefer the alternative though, as they are a lot better on the battery (half the amps) with about the same air flow.

How are these guys on bashers? Or are they street use only?

I only use them on street cars. They are too heavy for bashers imho.
I did try lighter versions 36mm plastic and they are ok, just don't land upside down or the fan motor rips out.

I went back to the 10 mm height alu frames for bashers but can't do it when it's too hot outside.
