wilysloth 22 Posted September 4, 2020 I would like to use the following kit in a Tamiya Avante (2011): Tamiya Brushed/Brushless ESC TBLE-02 - Sensored (45057) Tamiya Cooling Fan Unit For TBLE-02S (45063) Tamiya Brushless Motor 10.5T (54611) I have concerns whether the ESC will fit behind the driver's head with the fan attached and don't think that the ESC will run the motor without one. I'm hoping someone has direct experience to help guide me or could do a measurement for me. I would prefer to run with as much Tamiya gear as possible.

Barnoid 71 Posted September 4, 2020 The first option would be to see if you can get away without a fan (although I suspect not). Secondly, check that you can fit the motor in there without hacking away at the chassis upper plate - space is *very* tight. It'd work if you either got rid of, or carved away at the driver, but I appreciate that's far from ideal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howards 456 Posted September 4, 2020 Absolutely will need the fan. It will thermal without it, much faster than it does with it in a 4wd car Give yourself and your Avante an easy life and go for the 13.5 instead. Presuming you can get the motor in, as above. The TBLMs have the connectors arranged so that they add length to the overall package of the motor, and the space for that is in short supply in the Avante.

wilysloth 22 Posted January 27, 2021 For anyone coming late and looking for the answers to these questions: the ESC fits, but the motor does not (without modifications to the top deck). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
