I have some questions on my reventon R and my 13.5 mmm motor. I uploaded the stock1 software yesterday n everything look find. The boose, brake are very smooth but my motor seems to shaking a bit at one initial point (low rpm) and when it passes that point it ran smooth again. I dont know what happen with the motor and its seem hot compare to my 8.5t hobbywing.
With stock1 software i cant find the way to turn off the boose ( i case i wanna run blinky) or i have to upload different software to run blinky? Is it ok to switch software if u wanna turn off and on the boose?

As far as your motor check the sensor wire , if you want to run blinky I would install the stock "0" software.

Radio is a Airtronics MT4 and esc operates together fine. I actully ran it last night in 17.5 blinky mode and Tq'd but the simple problem is this.... I cant turn it off nor can I calibrate it since installing the new v19 software.

The esc will turn on but wont turn off nor calibrate now with the setup button.

Sidenote: I have tried reinstaller v18 and still does same thing. So I put v19 back on it and same issue no change. Does it need sent in?

Hey, I have a Reventon R, ran it once so far and noticed it wasn't in blinky mode.

I tried to load the Stock 0 programming, the application detected my ESC and I clicked update, selected stock 0 V18 and then clicked ok, it went through the upload process and completed. I set the brake/drag, then set the voltage cutoff and it said everything was set correctly. Exited the software, disconnected the power and connected it back to my receiver, hooked it up to my lipo and turned it on. Got power to the servo and the fan was running just fine but when I pressed the throttle nothing happens now. Verified it wasn't a radio setting. Turned it off, connected to the programming card, checked settings and instead of just having the basic settings of like 1-11 or whatever it went up to 15 but everything over 11 was set to 0.

I turned it off, disconnected and tried to reconnect to my PC, now the programming card shows SP and then goes to -- and the software never detects the ESC, but the card itself is detected. Connecting it to my car only and then connecting the lipo it does the same thing.

Is it dead? Any special recovery mode I can try? I really hate to have to wait for over a month for it to ship back to wherever it came from and then wait for a new one to arrive. I think setting it to blinky mode should not kill it, Maybe want to look into a fix if any SP employees see this :-P

Lower the DRRS to 7,start at 4000.See how that goes,then add hb active to 90%,if you want a bit more.Lowering the drrs will work tho.

Thank you. What about this 140K setting? Will I be slower at 110 or quicker?

Default Reventon R

Tried my new Reventon R yesterday, and I'm having issues getting the Drag Brake to function. I'm running the MOD 0, (Forward+Brake+Reverse) V18 B359, and any Percentage that I set the drag brake to, it does not seem to functional at all.

Any advise appriciated
