Help With ReRe Egress equipment

Brushless motors should be fine, just flip the pinion over if you need to.

The issue with the Sport Tuned motor is really that the rotor shaft is just a wee bit too short.  

 

I have brushless and didn't need to flip the pinion over .

And now they are on my Boomerang Thommo :D ..

Ha Ha.... I did notice that too, pictured in another thread !  That Egress has been nut and bolt restored to original parts now.  Just need to get a re-re body set for it eventually.

Hello guys
Did the kit bring extra parts?
Yesterday I damaged a 2 mm E ring CirClip BC-8.

Also here is a photo from last night progress.

Here is with the wheels, tires and body for bashing around. The original body, wheels and tires are going to be for display only. This is my first painting but Im not very happy with the results. I also need to align the wheels and finish mounting the electrical parts.

Im putting a 13.5 in my egress too. What size pinions did you go with? I have 17-28 available from my tt02b which has the same pitch. I have read to go lower with a brushless instead of the stock 22

16-22
I think I'm going to tryout first with the 19.
I let you know how it goes.

Awesome !   From memory, I think those three coloured terminals will twist and pull straight off of the motor if you need to solder the ESC wires straight onto the motor.  You may need to do this in order to have the wires clear of the steering servo. 

Is that a steel pinion ?  If not, you definitely want a steel pinion (and less grease) !   ;)

Thanks thommo

Im not sure about the material of the pinions. They are tamiya but the label doesnt said anything about the material so im guessing their not steel.🤦🏽‍♂️

Tamiya ones sold in pairs are made from soft silvery cheese. :D

The only T ones that last ok are sold singly and HFC coated, but only come in limited sizes. 

No need for brand loyalty, I buy pinions by RW or Robinson - you want the "metric 06" range.

😲Got it.

I think i would try and see which one is better for the motor and temp and then order a decent one. Thanks again for the heads up.

It looks to be a standard Tamiya AV pinion and unfortunately they are just not suitable for continued use.  You can check with a magnet if you're not sure but I'm guessing that one will fail the magnet test.  As per Willy's suggestion, you want to get yourself a few mod 06 or metric 06 pinions from either RW or Robinson Racing.  The brushless motor will have heaps of torque so I would say you can comfortably start with a 20 tooth pinion.  I would get a 20t and a 22t for that set up.

I test the car an the battery runs for about 20 minutes and it runs great.
After every run I check the motor and its barely gets warm.
I'm running the motor with the 19 pinion.
Is this ok?

Is cool, is good! Means it's running efficiently & not wasting energy to heat.

Have got similar ~3000kV combo from SpeedPassion in Avante & Egress, they barely get warm too. They go more than fast enough so haven't bothered trying to gear up. Fan on ESC sounds a bit loud... thinking of disconnecting it if it's not really needed :)

Thanks WillyChang!
Yes, its fast enough with the motor in 0 timing and 19 pinion.
I got two fans with the kit and the one with the motor is loud.
I think I'm going to try running it without the fan.
