I have a V3.0 dark grey model 8.5 motor and I want to know if I can get a different case for it, lilke one from the faster motors so I can get cooling?

Can I buy them seperately? Where from?

Has anyone tried to fit the Reventon Wireless WiFi Module into the AE B44.2?

Thank you.

I agree! Two weeks now and my issue is still not resolved. I replied last week after finally getting a reply but have not had a reply since. It appears to take a week to get a response. If you race with their products and have an issue that week, you are out of luck. Don't expect same day or same week support.

I don't think I can ever feel confident ordering anything from them anymore. If they can't resolve a simple issue like stickers for a body, I can only imagine what others will have to go through to get support. Don't even bother calling them as they NEVER answer the phone either. I called different times every day an if you like to press 0 for hours have fun at it!

I thought Hobby King was bad at one point to get support but these guys are the new winner.

I plan to let everyone know here and on other message boards and at the local race track what kind of support they have which is awful.

Be Warned!!!!

They did contact me and are in process of shipping the part. I wasn't going to post a follow up until the issue was fully resolved but at least they are working on it.

Default Reventon pro bluetooth

Has anybody out there got the wifi or the Bluetooth module to work with a reventon pro? All posts on that topic seem to indicate that those modules only work with the r and s types, but often only the problems arise on the web....

I would also appreciate if some speed passion representative could comment on this issue. Maybe it's just a matter of software?

Hopefully their customer service lives up to their products and takes care of it as I've never had to deal with their CS before.
I sent my WiFi Module back to the HK WebStore that I purchased it from because SP USA would not help me.PIA Turns out that the Module is just fine.

They determined that there is a firmware issue and the ESC needs to be updated with the PC Interface in "Safe Mode". ESC works fine, just can't change any settings as the iOS device can't read data from the ESC?

Only problem... I don't have a PC, or a Programming card (I only have Mac)

I contacted SP before I purchased the Reventon R and Module, and was assured by them them that I would not need the Programming Box as it could all be done through the WiFi Module.

So now I am expected to purchase a PC and a Box just to fix this issue? I don't effin think so. Thanks, SP! what a bunch of crap!

There have been users here who have loaded Windows onto their Macs and installed the Speed Passion Reventon program, myself included.

Why not try to get a copy of Windows and install it?

I don't have an LCD or LED box. (bought ESC without) Not going to pay another $50 or more with shipping for LCD.

The purpose of going WiFi route was to eliminate the need for PC. Selling feature touted by SP.

Was told specifically that Box would not be needed by SP.

This Company that can spend money developing an iOS App./ WiFi system for programming their ESC's, but can't find a workaround when it fails.... other than reverting back to using a PC and Programming Box.

Not impressed!

Can any one give me any idea what a safe operating temp would be for a Reventon stock club race esc and 17.5 competition V3 motor? I have been running a consistent 120 to 125 degrees f. What is your opinion on the temp? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
