I had a Pro that never worked correctly and an S with a manufacturing defect. The 3 R's are all good as well as the other S. So according to internet logic, 100% of pro's fail, 50% of S's and 0% of R's. Only kidding of course, I'll be sticking with them for quite a while as they provide a value that none of the OVERPRICED esc's do at this time.

:D:D:D

BAM Sydor was holding it up :P


Thanks for posting...Reventons ROAR approved now.

Unfortunately Penz316 In your manual under Programming the ESC page 9

section 11.1 Connect the Speed Passion Smart Program Card to the reventon ESC.

Do not connect ESC with ESC fan and battery
taken straight from manual maybe it should have said with esc fan and battery connected

V20 out today Friday in Australia

i just checked, it is out here on the US web site also...
:D:D:D

Have you tried holding the reset button as you connect the USB cable to the LCD Unit? It should show "Firmware Update" you can then start the software on your PC and update the firmware again. I noticed you cannot navigate away from the update page or it freezes up. Just set it going and wait about 5 minutes without clicking on anything else or opening any other programs.

Hi Guys,
Is the new software being released only compatible with the Revention products?

just wondering...

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and had issues with updating the LCD firmware due to the software crashing. I went and switched the program properties to Windows XP SP3 compatibility and run as Administrator. After this, no issue with the software locking up during the LCD firmware update.

Also remember that you have to install the drivers for the LCD programmer so your pc knows what it is to use it for the first time. The LCD drivers are in the folders you extracted in the zip v20 download. Just update the lcd drivers from the device manager and point it to the extracted folder to search for the update.

hope this helps

Hello ? Is this thing on :confused:
Are you looking for a solution for the problem ?
Or just ignoring the problem hoping it will go away.
I have heard at least 3 other Reventon PRO's have the same problem as mine.
They shut themselves off. I have NEVER had this problem with any other ESC.
It is nice that some people are having good luck with theirs.
But it would be nice to have some support for those of us having problems.
I judge a company by how they treat their customers after the sale.
Not just how they treat you while taking your money.

I've just receive my Revetron PRO with SP 5.5T (combo) .
I have no idea about settings on this esc .
The track is asphalt and large and my car is the Tamiya trf417

I need a setup to start with and then i will see if i need more power or it' too much .

Thanks

If it happened after a crash as some other people have also mentioned I wonder if it is worth checking the internals of the ESC. Someone mentioned some dry solder joints on some of the latest speed controllers, it may be worth checking and touching up any suspect joints. I'm not sure of the construction of the Reventon Pro but some ESCs have dual layer boards, it may be worth also checking that everything is connected firmly inside.

Failing that I would contact your local distributor or Speed Passion directly and organise a replacement.

Hope this helps.

I've kept my GT Prostock just in case anything happens with the new Pro so I'll have something to use if it needs to go back. I had tons of trouble with a brand new ESC by another manufacturer last year. I really hope the pro doesn't suffer the same fate.

Mine is installed in my new TCXX but i'm yet to test it in anger. So far, baring some teething problems updating the LCD firmware on Windows 7 64 bit, everything seems great.

That is one HUGE track :)
When you connect the ESC to the PC and open the Reventon software, under settings, Hybrid Boost you have to select your motor type. Here it has recommended starting points for HB Active and HB Maximum.

I'd start with DRRS set to 7, RPM start at the highest, 9000 I think and boost delay 0.3. I would have said this was a good starting point but others may have better suggestions. Just remember to check motor temps whilst testing any new setup.
