I doubt you will be able to find a motor that fits but if someone can prove me wrong then good luck.

I have heard from several people that the revvy motor and gearbox can be substituted for the egg one and vice versa.

Alternatively I can get you a 1.8 pinto engine and gearbox for £65 maybe some nova gte alloys for £25 ?

the motors in eggs and revvies are radio control servos... any online model shop and order one, u need othe dimensions ... 40mm x 37mm x 20mm and you just need a standard servo, it should work, theyre about a tenner, and all you need to do is chop off the excess wires and just use the red and white power leads on them, you may need to take the new connector off of the new motor and put the old one from your old egg onto the new servo, as the connectors are sometimes different, hope this helps ...

There's a company called Ripmax, they will have replacement motors. I may have some spare motors tucked away somewhere, but you will need to tell me the shaft size of the motor, as they can be different. The diameter and length of the motor will help.

Ironically, the motor in the Halo is significantly cheaper... and conveniently is the same size as the ones in my Mini-Z racers...

model servos have a different gear setup they have a stop block on one of the cogs so it only has a 90 degree range of movment the best thing to do is have a word with just paintball they will sort you out thay do all the spares for the eggs and they are quite cheap aswell also the egg2 servos spin alot faster than standard servos and they can handle alot more current and voltage

hope this helps you out
