Loaded Stock 0 software into my Reventon Pro. Everything is cool except i have no brakes. I tried setting it on my radio but nothing. Is there something i can set on the Reventon program through my computer?

Thanks

Can anyone point me to the right programming box that connects to the pc? Didn't see it on the sp website.

My Thunder Power motor seemed to work just fine with my Reventon Pro.

Default Help!!!!

I have the Reventon Pro and Reedy Sonic 17.5. I have everything hookup but am getting no power to the motor. Wires are connected fine. I calibrated according to instructions but nothing when I pull the throttle. I thought it might be the motor so I connected the Reventon to my speedPassion motor and still nothing. The LEDs are not blinking or anything. They both just stay lit - red and orange.

I put my Orion speedo back on and everything works perfectly fine.

Can someone give me some direction - maybe something I should check???


Thanks.

You need a LCD Professional Program Card for GT2.0 series. Part number is "SPLCD01".

PC software: "Speed Passion USB Interface software V1.38 and software"
this software does not work with Reventon.

I'm using the KO Euros.

Are you suggesting to reverse the throttle and then calibrate?.

Correct. With some radios you need to reverse the throttle then re-calibrate with the ESC.

I had the same issue on my first run with the Pro. The default brake setting is set at 30%. You are going to have up this to feel the brakes...
