Has anyone had a sensor board fail in there SP motors??
I have new V3.0 17.5 with a red timing board that I had from a 1 year old MMM motor and has been fine for many race meets but yesterday mid way through my final race throttle became very touchy.
Brought it in and found anything less than 30% throttle it would cog like crazy (4wd team durango)
Replaced the sensor wire and it was the same, when I got home I put the 0-10 Black timing board back in and the cogging is gone.
What causes this issue anyone had it before??

You can press the 2 PCB's together while re-soldering the posts and this may fix your problem... it did for me. I wish they would leave the pins long so they could get soldered properly and then clip off the excess. simple soldering 101.

Uninstall the current program.
Right click on the .exe install file and select compatibility mode.
You will be prompted to choose and older OS and just move forward with the install. don't close the troubleshooter till everything has installed.

Hi guys and girls. I have a Reventon Pro that's done about three meetings in 1/10 TC (13.5T, stock 1 setting) Today I changed some settings and put the boost to 150k as per some guys setup sheets. I went to full throttle and it cut out. Now when you push the button to turn it on, it comes on, but as soon as you release the button it turns off. It didn't over heat or do anything silly neither did the motor. It will still connect to the computer so I reset everything back to default then reset it all again but the same thing happens, push the button down and it fires up, release the button and it turns off. Any Ideas ???

Any ideas?
I've tried contacting Speed Passion but haven't had a response.
I really need to be able to program my ESC and nothing seems to work.
The USB driver appears to be installed properly because I can see the card when I go to device manager on my laptop.
If I open the PC interface and plug it in whilst holding Reset I can update the software to v1.3 or v1.4 but neither seem to solve my problem.
I'm just stuck with two dashes! I can't program from PC or the card.
I've googled but couldn't find anything useful. The first result is my post on here!

I have a reventon pro 1.1 and I have run it in my car 3-4 times at my local track. The last time that I had it at the track it worked perfectly.But 2 nights ago I was getting ready to go to the track and all I have is reverse, or if I change the running mode to forward/brake I get no movement at all. I am running a 8.5 V3 motor that came s a package with the speed control.
I have tried to reflash or resend the settings to the esc with both the lcd programmer and my PC. and no change. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you didn't accidently change model number on your transmitter and then re-calibrate the ESC to your radio. If it calibrates normally, it should work. If it shows a problem while calibrating, you may have killed the forward mosfet pack. Double check all your soldering as well.

Speed Passion Revention issues
A number of issues I'm having :-
Car running Speed Passion motors which were part of Combos sold with either the Reventon S or R speed controllers. The brakes are really poor, even running 20% drag brake. Club mates have suggested that is actually the motor and not the esc.
Reventon R and S have poor reverse. It either actually doesn't work at all, or has a delay.
I like the smoothness of the esc but the problems listed are making me seriously consider selling all my Speed Passion equipment and buying another brand as my racing enjoyment is being spoiled. I would like the SP advisor Solara on this thread to advise on these in case I can make some improvements.
