New firmware released....V22
http://www.speedpassion.net/files/SP..._v1_1_0_22.zip
I strongly recommend everyone on UNINSTALL the old firmware and reinstall this new one. The new firmware has the best "recovery" base design that should take care most and all of the known "update error"....please take a look at the "Safe Mode User Guide" in order to access the "backdoor" if your ESC encounter any kinda update failure problem...

There is a new fan and customer driven website www.teamspeedpassion.com. There are a few pictures in the media gallery with the exact cars you guys mention.
It's a great site for finding pictures of SP products in specific cars, reviews, etc. Take a peek
You can even submit pictures and your own local race results.

Hi,
I received the Reventon pro and have it in the car. I raced the last 2 weekends and love the punch and braking power. However after a 5 min heat race when I stop the car. The ESC is turning itself off. I also had it shut itself off when I had crashed near the end of a heat and was waiting to be marshaled. I am running 21.5 Blinky. The lipo cut off is turned off as well as the temp cut off. I also added the fan to see if it would help but it does not.
Any ideas ? LMK Thank you.

I'm running the Stock0 blinky firmware that I downloaded to it from the latest software release, I'm wondering if that's something to do with it as a mate at the track has one and he didn't update and doesn't have that problem.
Lipo cutoff is off but when I change to a fresh pack the speedy operates fine so I'm confused as hell. I'm running 21.5 blinky and it doesn't use more than 3000mAh of a 6600mAh pack so I find it hard to believe it something battery related.
Couldn't find a reply to TransAm's question, is anyone else getting this problem too?
edit: i found some replies saying its incompatibility with some motors which imo is shit! I'm using a LRP x12 21.5 I'm going to order a SP 21.5 to test this theory (need a spare motor anyway).

Just tried my brand new Reventon Pro tonight at a club meet, I'm getting the EXACT same problem. Happens after a 6min race, ESC temp was 42 degrees (c) and when you turn it back on it starts repeatedly beeping with no throttle response.

You could try (carefully) removing the second wire pin from the sensor connector and run your car.

I would need to verify and research, but it might be the LRP motor has internal sensors. If this is the case, disabling the 2nd wire on the sensor cable could potentially solve your problem.

But, they do work very well..... I love my Reventon Pro

It's starting to look easier to list motors that do work with the Pro than what does not...
I can say my Thunder Power (10.5T) has been working just fine with mine.

Yup +1 for Thunderpowers working fine, mate was running the 17.5 without any problems at all.

Yes, it would definitely seem that this motor 'compatibility' issue is more widespread than first thought. So far then, here are a list of known motors to have the problem, where the ESC will just switch itself off, when the car is stopped at/or towards the end of a race:
Viper
Vampire Type AB+
Hobbywing
LRP X12
Novak
Tekin V-1 and V-2?
Are the other speedo manufacturers having this same compatibility issue? Although it is a relatively easy fix to cut the 2nd wire on the sensor cable, it shouldn't really be necessary. Are Speed Passion looking into a more user friendly solution?
