9200e Brushless Install Overview.

With the amount of comments I've recently been getting on my 9200e videos it looks like this was a popular RC this Christmas. I've had several questions inquiring about the brushless combo I installed and thought making this video showing and explaining the install steps would help get someone who is wanting to install a brushless combo in their 9200e on the right track.

I was just informed that it's possible your pinon gear might be pressed on without a grub screw. this would require heat to the gear to expand it enough to remove from the motor shaft.
Here's a link to a replacement gear which I would recommend to use with the new motor rather than the stock pressed on gear.

Great video, I’m looking into upgrading my 9201e soon and this made it very simple for me to know what I’m getting myself into

[@Van_City]

Awesome. One thing is the pinion gear might not be the same. Since I made this video it seems like DeeRC has started using press fit pinions instead of the one I have with the gun screw. I do have a replacement pinion and all the parts I used linked in the description 👍💯

Very nice tutorial! These cars on brushless are an absolute blast! Ive had lots of comments about getting the grub screw off too. Sure enough the next one of these cars I upgraded (we have two different ones) didnt have a grub. Had a different pinion assembly that is pressed on. Stinks they did that! Ill post a link to a new pinion on Amazon that worked perfectly in mine that you can certainly share with the people asking you.

[@Van_City]

Really they actually went with a press on pinion? Wow that sucks.definitely send over that link I’ll make sure to share it.

[@thefirstone3077]

Please share it

[@thefirstone3077]

I actually had luck with his suggestion of heating pinion up with soldering iron. It took some prying but I got it off. Got the aluminum on so hope they last

[@Pothead2005]

Where did you get the 64t pinion from?

[@andrewb-d4778]

There was no set screw on my stock pinion gear/motor set up ….had to used pliers to pull it off in

[@Van_City]

Yeah, they have changed the design and are now using a press on pinion gear, which makes it slightly more difficult to change it out

[@Steelythestacker]

Well done bro. You can get a metal drive shaft gear to replace that plastic one. I out a Surpass 80 amp in mine so I had to dump the plastic gear. HSP bronto arms work perfect to replace those flimsy control and steering arms.

Hello, It has been a while but what kind of kit to you recommend to upgrade a DEERC 1:10 9201E? Trying to get my kid into RC. Thanks!

[@Van_City]

Hi I’ve added links in the video description of the upgrades I made to mine. You’re son will definitely like the 9021E 👍💯

[@stanleydecastro3319]

Nice tutorial. So short, to the point and informative with no fluff. My questions are what were your max speeds before and after the brushless upgrade? Also, do you consider this one of the better cars to do a brushless upgrade on? I have this car and was thinking about upgrading. I've never done anything like this before, but your video makes it look super do-able. The DeeRC 200E and 210E (which I don't have) are brushless versions of this car but use a smaller 2845 engine whereas you put in a much bigger, better, more powerful 540 in there. I'm jealous right now, LOL

[@stanleydecastro3319]

Just found your speed run video before the brushless install and watched it. 30km/hr on 2S battery and 42km/hr on 3S. I'm still interested in your speed runs AFTER the brushless install. Thanks!

[@Van_City]

Thanks appreciate it. In the stock motor with stock 2s battery my max speed was 30 kph, with a 3s battery my max speed was 41.9 kph. With the brushless system on 2s I got 51.6 kph and 77.2 kph on 3s With the brushless conversion make sure to order a new pinion gear as since this video they now press the gears onto the motors with no retaining screw. I believe I have a link in the video description

[@stanleydecastro3319]

@@Van_City Yup, you do have the link. Thanks a million. I just watched your brushless speed run right before you answered and was coming back to say I know the answers already. Thanks for the awesome videos and especially the links t buy everything. Speed run videos are kinda long, but I'm not complaining. Slow-mo so we could see the wheels ballooning was really cool. I'll need new tires if I ever do this.

[@WowCreativeUsername]

I ordered the servo but it was DOA. Tried another but was too big. Could you please link one that'd fit that's actually good quality?

[@Van_City]

The servo I have linked in the description is the only one I have looked into that fits. I’ll see if I can find another one

[@doylecholesterole1927]

Hi, is there a difference with the 550 brushless and 3660 brushless motors? Or is it just the name? And them tyres ballooned pretty bad at the end 😧

[@Van_City]

The size is different Between the two motors. Though I haven’t looked into it myself others have said that the 550 brushless just has a bigger casing and the motor itself is actually not bigger

[@gdukofficial]

I know this is an old video but, do you have any ideas on where to get metal parts for these? Can't find anything close to the parts :(

[@Van_City]

Looks like there’s a few metal upgrades available on this listing from AliExpress a.aliexpress.com/_mrT16yc

This was an Amazing Tutorial Thank You .. Just one question If I do this setup do i have to upgrade the Remote my Holyton rc came with ? ..

Thanks, Yes if you’re converting to brushless you will need to upgrade the transmitter receiver and the ESC

Thank you for the fast reply 🙏 will check them out!!

[@alexiscardenas2444]

No grub screw on my 9205e either. Looks press fit.

[@Van_City]

Seems like Deerc in the past 6 months have changed their pinions to a pressure fit

[@lucaswisniewski8213]

Alot of pinion gears do not have set scew! But they are easy with little miny butane porch and heat the gear not the shaft if possible other wise they will both expand together and you'll be right where ya started, Stuck!!

[@Van_City]

Even this model now uses a pressed on gear. Sometime last year they switched from using a set screw to secure the pinion

[@titan7105]

How would you swap motors now if I can't put the pinion on a different motor is it possible to buy a new pinion?

[@Van_City]

@@titan7105 you can buy a new pinion or just heat up the old one with a torch or use a pinion puller to remove the old one

[@thefirstone3077]

Thank you for the video. You helped me alot! Did a few of the upgrades melted stock plastic spur gear. Do you know where I could find a hardened steel one?

[@Van_City]

Glad it was helpful. I did a quick google search and it looks like there’s a few Chinese online stores that carry the metal spur gear.

[@thefirstone3077]

I came across the same. So you didn't have any trouble with the plastic gear?

[@Van_City]

@@thefirstone3077 so far I’m still using the original gears

[@thefirstone3077]

How?! Steel on plastic? I upgraded from the stock 45 esc to a 60 which actually came with the motor which is a3650 I believe same size as your 540. I did go for the Dumbo reciever and remote which is pretty great btw. Thank you. Since I upgraded I melted 2 plastic spur gears with the stock steel pinion. First one on 2s batteries second on 3s. 3s only lasted about 5mins. Upgraded to aluminum pinion and spur. Took a bit of fabrication but it lasted through the 2s. Threw in the 3s and it ran and did wheelies than started making familiar noise. I haven't taken it apart yet but I'm guessing I destroyed the aluminum spur. Lol I'm praying that the steel one I got actually holds up but the ends of drive shaft gears only make about half a much contact where they meet differentials so I'm guessing those are going to get demolished next... wish me luck! Truly don't know how your plastic spur held up. How much have you driven it like that??

[@Van_City]

@@thefirstone3077 I’ve driven it probably 20 times with the brushless setup and haven’t stripped anything yet

[@florentloiselle1704]

Hi, I have a surpass hobby f540 4370kv with a 45amp in that little guy, and I was thinking what battery should I place in there?

Loved the tutorial. I fortunately bought one used for 10 dollars without a remote. So now i just have to upgrade it like you did. Would an old AM/FM transmitter still work with the new ESCs?

[@Van_City]

That’s a killer deal. If you have the receiver that goes with the transmitter you should be good

[@autismapostle]

@@Van_City cant celebrate too early. I noticed the front wheel is inward but dont notice any break in the suspension. Is the car toe inward? It doesn't seem adjustable. I was about to buy the brushless system and steering servo you suggested when I noticed.

[@Van_City]

@autismapostle yeah that’s odd. Unless the suspension components are bent? It really should not have any tow. There are upgraded links that you can replace the plastic ones with that are adjustable if required to correct the alignment.

I was thinking about upgrading to a brushless motor but this is fast enough for what I do with it. First time out I broke a upper swing arm in the front. I would like to upgrade the structural parts.
