Whats would be better - fan q
I have an EA81 powered buggy with the radiator up front.
Currently I have one fan for the rad., but was thinking would it be better to put two smaller fans on, or get a fan shroud for the one i have??

Fan shroud definitely! Recirculation is the enemy.

what he said,
BTW, only go 2 smaller fans if they add up to more surface area than the 1 big one.
also, subtract the area of the fan motors when working the surface area out.
