Can anyone think of any reason why a ThunderPower motor wouldn't work with a Revention Pro? Two Speedos, two different motors and nothing. Servo works. It seems to program but can't verify cause the motor won't move.

Try putting you radio throttle in reverse or the opposite of your current setting and rebind. Mine did the same and works fine once I changed my radio setting.

It is probably posted somewhere in here, but was looking for a 17.5 blinky for 2wd buggy setup with a speed passion reventon pro r and MMM motor.

Can you get any motor to work or is only the ThunderPower not working? What radio are you using?

Futabas generally need the throttle reversed
KO Propo radios might need the VR reset before setting up the radio to the ESC.

Check your sensor cables and other associated wiring.

The default profile of Stock0 is a great baseline and may drivers run that without any change. I would start with the defaults and then as an option try different DRRS settings based on your traction level or desired "punch".

Some offroad drivers also like to adjust drag brake higher or lower depending on the distance between jumps to jumps or jumps to turns.

Im running the Stock0 setting for 17.5 blinky with a Rev Pro. Does increasing the DRRS increase or decrease punch?

Ya thanks, the throttle was already reversed from a different setup on the radio. It usually doesn't matter if it is set wrong, it will just end up as brakes going to throttle and throttle being brakes.

It is working now thanks. Was worried there for a minute. Started to do the Clark Griswald when the Christmas lights wouldn't come on. lol But decided to post here first.

Can you not do a custom drag brake setting now? The old hobbywing based software let you.

run the ddrs as high as you can. in blinky mode give that mmm motor as much power as you can. It does not hurt anything. stock blinky software is good. I do not use drag Brake. I have a Reventon but I am choosing to stick with the Gt2.0 pro. I don't like how it looks in my car at the moment

OIve seen a few posts but very little reply from anyone at SP. Is there anything that can be done about the brakes? Im at 100% force and 120% on my radio and i cant feel the brakes but barley at all. This is with a fantom 13.5 that had brakes fine when i had my gt2.1

Ya it's weird, I set the brakes to 100% with the LCD box. Didn't have any brakes hardley at all. Then I hooked to computer, updated the firmware, applied Mod 1 software then set the brakes to 80%. Ton of brakes now. Gotta back them off some.

Ya, mines the pro also. Out of the box it didn't have any brakes even set at 100% with the programming box. Like I said, plugged into the computer, loaded the latest firmware and Mod1 and set brakes at 80, way too much brake now for 2wd.
