I had the same issue with mine, turned it all the way up and it just barely came on at all. I posted and was told it was my motor (comp V3 speedpassion 17.5T) and to try another motor. I then tried to update the firmware to stock 0 V18 for blinky spec and the ESC just died without any reason, said it was successful in the software and it seemed to work but no throttle, then tried to reconnect it to my PC and it just stopped detecting and now I get no power to the receiver at all and the programming card won't detect it. These seem extremely temperamental and probably need some more dev time..

Hey guys I bought a Reventon R and I do not have the motor hooked up to it nor have I hooked up the programmer to the esc, but my problem is when I turn on the esc to power up my Spektrum SR3000 the receiver will flash and the servo will pulsate. When I hook a different bec to it the receiver and servo it works fine. I read on here that one guy had to use a Glitch Buster, is that the case? Any help would be great!
I posted this in the off-road so i figured i would post it here

It's not the motor. I tried my SP 'Comp v3 8.5 AND 10.5 and the same thing happens. Changed sensor wires and no difference. 8.5 with a Castle MMP Drag brake works fine.

HI everyone reading the past threads about the reventon pro and how some of you are having troubles in obtaining the settings or upgrading from v18 to v19,all I can add is read the instructions from start to finish before you start.
I upgraded my esc from v18 to v19 without a single wire being soldered to the esc , downloaded the new programe from speed passion, connected the esc to the program box then to my computer ( note no battery or fan connected ) and upgraded the esc . Once installed in the car after all wiring I reset my spectrum then proceeded to do a new setup with throttle . The esc did what it's supposed to do. After setup it turned it's self off, after switching back on throttle and motor worked . End result read first, as someone said before this esc is not like the previous speed passion esc these are completely different . Motor is speed passion comp MMM 3 17.5

If I unplug the servo then it is fine. I can plug the servo back in and it is fine. Moving the steering really slow it is fine, just when you transition the servo back and forth a little fast does it brown it out. I think it is a bad design of the internal bec. The smaller things get it seems the more problems, but it will get worked out. I am going to the store to get a 4700 16v capacitor to throw on here and that should take care of the problem.

Boosted with the v19 software at 100% boost around a 5.7 depending on the length of the straight .use stock sensor board in the middle.

Blinky probably in the 4.5 area depending on the sensor board that you are using.

With the v19 use 3,000 start up, 150k boost max, .02 delay 100% hybrid boost if the straight is short you should be ok with 80% boost.

Drrs no less that 7

there is another version getting tested now that you can fine tune the rpm/ramp/degrees,and custom %on boost , no word if is final or not but the 5711 is very good and easy to set up.
