My car runs fine with my LRP Flow.. Tried to save a buck here after a motor meltdown in my daughters car took out her SPX Zero, and bought a SP. i think im just gonna stop at Hobbytown tomorrow and get another Flow.

I appreciate the offer Ritchie, but I dont want to risk showing up for a big race and saying sorry hun, your car is dead we cant get it running.. but if we have time maybe we can mess with it.

Which brings me to, FOR SALE: one fresh out of the box Reventon R ESC with program box... lmao!

3. Take a chance on ordering their bodies, why cause they don't really stand behind them if they are damaged.
6. They are not flexible, could of resolved the issue that would of costed them less than $3.00 if that.

People will now believe what I'm saying is true.

You could connect the ESC in the following ways;

1) ESC with fan on and connected to battery and program card

OR

2) ESC with fan off and connected to program card and usb cable to PC

I prefer option 2 since I have a user interface to work with. My desktop and laptop running Win7 SP1 has no problems detecting the ESC.

You have to ensure that the drivers are installed first before doing any of the above. I'd admit that it's a chore to get it working, but once you do, it's pretty smooth from there on.

Hope this helps.

Bring your program box and adjust. Personally I just had to add more brakes but that was it. It's the best feeling esc I've ran in a long time
What car? Motor? Battery?

one another note,

a friend and I both built SP F-1's, installed Revention Pros I'm running a SP 21.5, he's running a Novak 21.5. Both cars hesitate and or cog when the trigger is just starting to be pulled, if I pull the trigger to full right off, mine takes off, his doesn't.

advise/help please...

oh, and I have the red timing board installed in my motor, his novak doesn't change with timing changes

or, the SP esc is weird.. when you hook to the computer via usb cable and then to the esc via the double male cable, the battery MUST be disconnected and the switch off.

when hooking to just the esc, the battery needs to be connected and the switch turned on. get it wrong and stuff smokes..

not sure if that was your problem, but it sounded like it might be.

I'll be at 4 seasons for the NW challenge this Saturday. I'll bring my laptop and box..
