what issues and how long in till gremlins started appearing?
04-05-2016, 08:07 AM
The gremlins appeared immediately after install. I bought it in OCT 2014 for the 2015 season that didnt happen so I installed it for this year. VERY bad cogging and would lock up the motor when lifting for turns. I had to push the car because when I hit the throttle it would make a wierd whining noise but not move the motor. Changed the sensor wire, recalibrated and even tried a different motor. I even tried the MuchMore firmware. Did some adjustments yesterday to see if it would work but now it sometimes wont even turn on. Naturally its out of warranty.

I sent my Pro back with an RMA under warranty and still don't get an answer.

Lilhohn, good luck with the RMA. Been waiting on mine for over a year

AMain hasn't been buying any so that's why they show out of stock. Plenty of track and other sellers are stocking them or visit shop.speedpowerrc.com
There's going to be a pretty decent Spring sale coming up if you follow Speed Passion's and or Speed Powers Facebook page.

I have 4 other SP ESCs. So what? They should work right? If I pay for a Reventon Pro, I expect it to work but stuff happens. However, when I write 2-3 times to Speed Passion to fix the situation, and no one answers, yeah I get a little upset, especially when I see that Im not the only one. I see no reason to switch to another brand but SP needs to take care of their loyal customers.

In the toro thread, I would mention of my issues of my esc yet someone would keep posting about their victories with their esc. And say things like, "3 of our guys have had no issues in the past year etc". I'm thinking great... Doesn't help me one bit. Luckily I dealt with RCMART and not the actual maker...

And here we are, talking about all the issues we've had and yet not 1 SP rep has chimed in. Ive posted about my esc, Ive written emails and everything. I really think these things are just made and shipped, I dont think a CS department even exists.

Nexus pops in once in a while and Im not sure if he's a rep but he at least tries.

Are you guys going straight to speed passion or your lhs. I would have thought that the seller would deal with all the headache
04-06-2016, 04:40 PM
Ive been buying straight from SP since I live at least 4 hours from any hobby shop.

I have used SP for the past 4 years and has been perfect.
just got another 10.1 installed and is perfect too.
the manuals suck and the pc interface is craZY TO USE but once u figure that out they are flawless.
