If it is doing it with and without the sensor cable plugged in, to me, it would suggest a bad sensor cable possibly. Do you have another cable you can try?

It was a defective pinion gear. Fixed it. Works now.

12th scale Reventon R
 

Hi, I just picked up my first 12th scale car. I want to try to use my Reventon R in it, I plan on using a life rx pack. Has anyone had experience running the Reventon R in single cell racing? and if so give me some tips or anything to look out for.
Thanks,
Mark

I don't think the R is 1s compatible. It also obviously doesn't have a booster for the BEC. Certainly the manual states 2s lipo only operation. I think the only esc that speed passion have is the 1.1 ex which is 1s compatible. For 1/12 most people I know run the hobby wing 1s esc with internal booster.

Which is the reason I'll be installing a 6.6volt life rx pack to power the servo and esc.

Anyone else had a problem with the Reventon Pro not shutting off with the pushbutton?
Mine will turn on fine with the button but I have to unplug the battery to turn it off lately. It worked fine before?

Try it but I'm pretty sure it won't work very well if at all.

For sure it is not rated or recommended to run 1s.


Are you running any positive throttle trim? If so set it to "0" and see if it will turn off. Also make sure you update to the newest possible software. I think there was an issue awhile back like what you mentioned.

Need some help on how to get more speed out of my current gear.

Running a reventon 1.1 and 7.5, v3 (old version) motor in my t4 on indoor carpet, rubber tires

i have been running on a small carpet track, running std timing (5degrees), drrs on 5, 7.6 gearing ..

going to race on a larger track soon, 35m straight. does anyone have a good startingpoint with boost, and gearing?

the feeling today is smooooooth and very easy to drive, want to keep a fairly smooth feeling and still get some more top speed

What's the best software for stock racing, boosted and blinky?
I'm currently using a reventon pro, any help will be apreciated.

Use Stock1 and delay the boost to hit later/more on straights.

Stock and blinky the same?

Stock0 is the option for stock/blinky no ESC timing.

Most top guys seem to prefer Stock 1 for modified classes.

Is there a link for downloading the PC interface without the need of using winzip? Just want the full file size of the PC interface file to upload stock firmware on my reventon pro.
Cause i don't want to download some sponsor software for just using the winzip for only 1 time.

@Nexus,

Thx for the reply.

ive got a pro 1.1 it had the stock sofware in it now has mod 2 in it it has had a slight stutter right at take off if u just hardly give it throttle tried re doing esc radio diff motors diff sensor cables unpluged sensor cable made it way worse. are they all like that or is mine starting to get a issue .

First, I have been able to install the PC interface and i also installed the Stock1 program on my ESC.
Second, the installation of the program on my computer is waaaaaay to complicated comparing to hobbywing.
After completing the update to my esc i'm unable to use the (blue) smart lcd program card when i would like to change some settings to the ESC without my computer, is this normal?
Even when i try to use my LCD professional program card it won't work either.
Even when i would like to connect the ESC to my computer it will not work, the ESC will not reconize the program card.
To my understanding i'm only able to change my ESC settings with a connection to my computer and not with just only with any program card.
If that's correct i'm very dissapointed in this speedpassion thing, cause i really do not like to take my computer with me everytime i'm going to practice or go to a race.
I really like the speedpassion speed controllers but if this is the case i will sell my reventon pro esc and i will not buy any speedpassion esc anymore.
Hopefully someone can help me out if it's possible to use only the program card for changing the esc settings.

Hey guys, my son and I both have a ReventonR speed control and they've worked great for a year. Today, my son's is shutting down when he goes full throttle for more than 2 seconds. He can drive it around at 3/4 throttle with no problems and he can blip full throttle constantly, but as soon as he goes full throttle for more than 2 seconds it only has enough power to creep the car back to him. Any ideas?
We've tried different batteries and connectors, have not tried a different motor yet.
