And the same in Safe Mode too.

Any idea to flash it ?

I don't think I can add any timing right now because my motor gets up to around 160 degrees and I'm running a 4s 2700mah.
-4s battery! Wow! ...yeah, 160-170 is as hot as I like to go too.

I'd start with the default setting for blinky/stock on the ESC. For the motor I would start in the middle with timing and work your way up. On a smaller track you might not need more than the max available timing in the motor.

If you want to experiment with even higher timing take a look at the yellow and blue sensor boards. Be careful when throwing more timing at your setup. Always check motor temps as you go up in timing and gearing.

Just installed my new Reventon pro 1.1 but the heatsink fan won't start. Is it supposed to start immediately?

Any tips for improving the brakes on the Reventon R? Bought one for my Sakura sport to run in 21.5 and its brakes are very weak. Set to 100% in the programming and 100% on my radio but they just don't have much bite, they work but not very well. Tried them with both a speed passion 21.5 and a Hobbywing 21.5, the Hobbywing was a fraction better but both times the car was not stopping that well and unless I touch the throttle they don't work at all (like if I just put it on the ground and push it along the brakes will not engage unless I have accelerated first with the ESC).
I want to move up to Superstock soon but the brakes would not be safe to run this class with.

I tried all the above. Speed passion site won't let me register for an RMA. I tried Facebook and was in touch with someone, but then they disappeared and haven't told me where to send my Info. Have a few others emails out, but I guess I shouldn't hold my breath. It's a shame really.

On a side note, whats this Carrera 3 transmitter talk all about? Has anything other than the quick mention of it on the site about allowing esc changes from the Tx been brought public?

Hi all!

I just bought Speed Passion Reventon S+10.5T combo to my Sakura D4 drifter.
So far its great, but it seems that theres some kind of "turbo boost" active, as my throttle reaches approx. 60%, the car gets like a 1000 horsepowers more.
Thats quite annoying with a drifter as it makes the controlling the car impossible.
Is there some kind of turbo boost or is my radio settings wrong??
I have calibrated the esc according to instructions. I have the program card but i didnt see any part where i can disable that stupid turbo boost.

Thanks.

Do you know what profile you are running in the ESC? Download the Speed Passion software to your PC and connect everything up per instructions. Maybe you have Hybid Boost or something activated.


On a separate note: "race20" coupon code will save everyone some money on shop.speedpowerrc.com

I picked up a reventon pro 1.1 esc. Wondering what update I need to download in order to open up the reverse settings. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
