AMain hasn't been buying any so that's why they show out of stock. Plenty of track and other sellers are stocking them or visit shop.speedpowerrc.com

There's going to be a pretty decent Spring sale coming up if you follow Speed Passion's and or Speed Powers Facebook page.

Buying the products isn't the problem. For the last 6 month to a year there have been many posts here about 1.1 pro's failing, I've had 3 myself. The problem is the lack of communication from shop.speedpowerrc.com.

For example, Purchased a speedo there in July, failed in September so it was still under factory warranty. Submitted return request a few days after failure (end of September now) received approval in November with instructions on how and where to return he speedo. Heard nothing until the package was returned as undeliverable in January. Emailed the help desk pictures of return label and was sent a completely different address to send back (mid January now). Resent package to the second address in Chicago and here it is end of March and I have not heard word one from shop.speedpowerrc.com. I've left messages on web chat, emailed, and called the 800 number but no one ever answers the phone. I'm sorry but that is not acceptable customer service in my opinion.

I have an old GT 2.0 LPF esc thats practically new. Ive tried updating it but no luck it doesnt seem to read the esc on the PC. Anyone still have one of these that can help me?

And for what its worth the service for SP really does suck i sent in a reventon pro for service and never got it back.

I used a Hobbywing program card to change firmware in a GT2.1EX if that helps.

Maybe I'll try to download the hobby wing program but I don't have a hobbywing programmer so...

So what's going on here is speed passion like going to disappear or something

As per Amain the reventon was discontinued, and you can find them on ebay for like $95. They never really lasted long anyway, i just ordered one for the hell of it b/c it was cheap. But the service is horrible. God only knows where my esc went when it was sent in for service.

mine was sold for the same price at my LHS.

How long did yours last and how were you running it? Its actually brought me a lot of confidence in the past 6months as I've gone through 3 different ESC's...

I went for the Reventon R after further testing of the Pro that I have. Ive asked a couple times if they just want me to send it in but no response. Ive used Speed Passion ESCs for the past 10 years and the Pro is the first one that I had issues with.

Not the case

SP guys just are not on RCTech as much as in the past. If you follow them on Facebook there are tons of race results and sneak peeks into new products like the V4 motors and GT4 ESC.
