Does anyone know how to set a Reventon 1.1 Pro to "blinky" mode?
I fitted one to each of my 2 cars, I was asking Steve last night about the possibility that I may be inadvertently cheating as the esc doen't 'blink', we read the booklet & found that the 'stock' setting is 18.5" on the DMTS, Steve felt that 0% should be "blinky", I've changed the value to 0" & now the red only comes on at full throttle & the orange at full brake.
I'm not so certain that this is "blinky" mode or if the stock setting is "blinky", now that I know how to do it, if the factory setup is indeed "blinky" then I may just run it at 15" (easier on the motors anyway), but just want to know that I'm not cheating, on purpose or by accident.
I'm just about to go have a good look at Speed Passions site to see what they say about the 1.1 Pro & "blinky" mode, but if anyone has any first hand experience with these it may help guide me through it.
Cheers.

Yeah I think it was required to suppress the seismic activity from Terry and I once we passed out. NASA reported strange vibrations emanating from Brisbane and reports of two women cussing something about a Happy Valentines Day with an argumentative tone.

Thanks Terry,
Got it, now both cars are legal ("blinky" mode), I'm a happy camper, unlike the 40 minutes I just spent trying to work out how to download it, send it to the esc, update the settings (at this stage I'm saying "this is too much stress, don't think I can be bothered with this r/c racing caper, might just go back to racing speedway"), then check it all, times 2.
Now just have to pull both cars apart, order some 48p gears (after destroying a brand new 64p spur within 1/2 a lap of racing & 2 minutes of warm up), this is getting nearly as time consuming as running the compact speedcar, lucky I'm sort of enjoying myself, because I am not a masochist so don't appreciate the punishment without any reward.
Oh & someone remind Marty, he has to come around & re-polish my turret, he didn't do a very good job last night, maybe some polish & a rag, hey Marty, not flipping me upside down & pushing me 10 metres.
Freebie alert--------
I have a 72t 48p spur that I bought, it's the wrong stud pattern for my SpecR, I think it's an Associated one, free to good home, not in package but never been used. First body that grabs me at the next club meet can have it, must fit your car, not giving it away to someone who isn't going to use it (sooner or later).
Ok back to what you were doing, move along, nothing to see here.

Wow, what a night. Just couldn't stay for the 2nd final. After being so "sparked and perked up" as H put it I found I couldn't maintain that feeling and had to pike.
The real highlight of the night for me was to see the 2 girls in the final of the Junior race having a great race with one another and really enjoying themselves. The giggles and laughter emanating from the drivers stand was great to hear. After all that is what it is all about.

Hi,
Re:64pitch running gear, you might be suprised at how durable 64p can be in onroad.
I've been running it for the last 12 months and have only chewed 2x spurs in that time and both times were my own fault- rallying driving landsborough outer and 2nd time incorrect mesh gap. I ran quite a bit during the 12months.
Granted you have to take more time getting a nice mesh but I wouldnt swap the ability to fine tune my gearing strategies for 48p anyday. (except offroad).
Cheers, Brett.

After spending about 20mins on Friday night seeding the SSF heats I have decided to utilize the race software's skill level feature. This means that you are assigned a skill level based on you best qualifying time. I have only used this year's Winter Series results however if you have gone quicker over 5mins in a qualifier and have the documentation to prove it send an email to [email protected] with a scan or photo of the printout or a link to the result on myrcm.
Edit: This is for SSF only at this stage. As the other classes grow we can implement a similar procedure when necessary.
