thanks for the info . bought a 17.5 v.3 and a 21.5 v.2 last night from a dude with a good rep on here . just seems ridiculous that they have a North/South American Warehouse site that will ship to Brazil but not Canada ?!
Not a Rant, Just Advice
For Speed Passion (the company): I hear great things about your products, your customer service people leave a little to be desired. Also, for shipping around North America (including Canada) look to UPS and DHL, FedEx is ripping your customers off. (FYI it's less expensive to buy the Mazda Furai body kit x2 with shipping from rcmart.com in Hong Kong than from your North American warehouse). just sayin' .

Reventon Pro Question.
I just picked up a Reventon Pro from my local dealer, soldered it up and it worked perfect. Went to test today and all get is stearing but no throttle. Solid orange light and a blinking red light. Manual says its a voltage issues so I've tried 2 different batteries only to get the same thing, Both are fully charged, and 2 different brands.
I've tried recalibrating, reversing throttle on my 4PKS and still nada.
Any help would be great, running the stock 0 program.

Since we are discontinuing the GT2.1 EX, the best way to do is actually run Cirtix Stock Club Race with the TQCELL booster unit...still working.
However, this unit does not work for REVENTON S or R....I am trying to find the solution.
In October time or so...REVENTON PRO EX will be release...this unit will be the 1-2 cell use ESC without booster pack, a direct replacement of the GT2.1 EX.

Anyone else having issues with the Reventon program boxes? I have 4 and two of them don't light up the LED's when plugged into the ESC or the PC. The other 2 are fine. The 2 bad ones connect the PC and ESC just fine so I'm not sure what the issue is. One worked fine with the previous version of software and now doesn't work with the latest. The only real difference between the pairs is that the non-working pair have been used to update software on the ESC and the 2 that work haven't been used to update ESC software from the computer. Seems rather strange...

But mine both work perfect and I have been using the Bluetooth module with great success .
If speedpassion doesn't do it I will make a setup video and upload it to YouTube,as I cannot understand the existing videos being in Cantonese .
And also could Solara ( Howard ) pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese give us all an answer on the software?
Anyone else had success with finding out what's up?
Ian a patient man,but,geez.............
I think they ( Speedpassion ) have put the cart before the horse,please prove me wrong.

You mentioned it work 1 time....hows that it work and now not working..? I have tested other customer ESC said it does not have throttle and 99% of the time is the throttle channel that need to be reverse. Make sure after changing that setting, turn off radio and esc and turn them back on and do the calibration...and after calibrate, turn them off and then ON and try again....
I've tried both Reversing and recalibrating and non reversing and recalibrating. I've followed the intstructions to the T and even had some other friends that have SP stuff look at it and try and still nothing.
If I leave it in stock I still get the LVC alert, however when I switch over to the box stock default I get no LVC alarm and both orange and red solid. Even after recalibration it still had nothing.
I really appreciate all the help. My dealer told me he'd swap me out when he got another. I would however really like to find out what happened so whatever it is doesn't happen again.

Ok,I've got 2 Reventon pro's and I must admit the set- up is a bit weird.

shot in the dark, what radio is everyone using that they are getting problems with?

I'm using a 4pks. Not sure if it's a radio issue, and the instructions are made for Futaba radios (as listed).

About the setting box issue, I took the two boxes with problems and reloaded the firmware from version 12 I believe and they worked fine. To verify, I loaded one from the latest version (15 i believe) and it again had the issue. So for now, load the programming boxes with version 1.3 from the version 1.0.0.12 software pack and not the 1.0.0.15 and all will be fine. Note that the PC to ESC interface works regardless of the version used, it seems to only affect the LED's on the display box. I hope I got the versions correct, I'll check when I get home tonight.

may just be some bad ones out there. In general you don't hear much about the good ones. I know its no comfort though if you do get a bad one. But its a chance for Speed Passion CS to shine.
