This is the Egress 2013 4WD 1/10 Off Road Buggy Kit from Tamiya. A re-release of the iconic Egress 4WD off-road racing buggy, first introduced in 1989, it blends the nostalgia of the original with modern advancements in battery and motor technologies, making it a thrilling option for hobbyists.
The shaft drive 4WD system employed in the Egress 2013 4WD 1/10 Off Road Buggy Kit stands as a testament to Tamiya's commitment to performance and reliability. Positioned longitudinally, the motor's power is efficiently transmitted to all four wheels through a shaft drive mechanism. This configuration not only enhances traction but also minimizes power loss, ensuring that every bit of torque from the motor is effectively utilized. With full ball bearings throughout the drivetrain, the Egress delivers smooth and consistent power delivery, vital for maintaining control on a variety of off-road terrains.
A notable feature of the Egress 2013 kit is its re-designed front and rear ball differentials, which offer exceptional reliability and ease of maintenance. These differentials play a crucial role in distributing power evenly to the wheels, allowing for predictable handling characteristics and improved cornering performance. The inclusion of a center one-way bearing further enhances the buggy's agility, providing a degree of freedom in the drivetrain that aids in maintaining cornering speed without sacrificing stability. Combined with the built-in lockable one-way bearing setup option, drivers have the flexibility to fine-tune the Egress to suit their driving style and track conditions.
The Egress 2013 kit features a robust 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system, complemented by high-capacity aluminum cylinder oil dampers. This suspension setup offers exceptional damping characteristics, providing a plush and controlled ride over rough terrain. The aluminum front uprights add durability to the front suspension assembly, ensuring precise steering response and consistent performance under demanding driving conditions. With stabilizers installed at both the front and rear, the Egress exhibits minimal body roll during cornering, allowing drivers to push the buggy to its limits with confidence.
