Thanks! I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Since you are Subaru Tech....can I ask you STi question...LOL
So Reventon Pro will not work on 4 pole motors? What esc should I use on 550, 4 pole motor??

Have my short course almost ready to run but I'll keep waiting for some response here...

I hope maybe I could get the updated version. Though I'm not planning on using it. I was just curious on what I might be able to sell it for.

You need to update the LED card to the latest version as well...I think the latest one is V1.4. Make sure update both LCD (V2.5) and LED (V1.4)...same way for the update on both items.

Howard,

Any idea when the next re-stock will be? Got a couple pending sales and looking to pick up a rev pro and maybe an r.

Quick ? about the cases. Are they aluminium? Can they be painted or annodized in different colors? Thinking about red. Just a thought.

For those running 4mod. Anyone try a slower motor and bumping up timing boost and turbo for similar power? I have a peak motor and thinkin of switching back to my SP motor, but its 10.5. Curious if you can smooth out the power and settings to make a 10.5 on par with an 8.5.

I'm not sure the 10.5 would have enough bottom end for jumps in a 4wheel. I think you oUlf have to be very smooth of a driver with a 10.5 to get fast lap times. You would have to give it a try. I run a v3 10.5 with 20 degrees of timing (red board) mod1 firmware, 26.5 timing in the speedo. 32/78 gearing. Plenty of punch for the jumps and speed is awesome on the straight. Keeps up with the 8.5's.

Reventon PRO are instock.....R, unknown.

The upper case are aluminum....lower case is plastic. Can they be painted or anodized...? I don't know how....so I cannot answer that, but I am sure your will void the warranty.

This might sound basic, but are the fans unplugged from the Rs?

No fan is plugged in, it works with both the LED, and LCD directly using battery, fan spins lights and all that, it just will not connect to the PC interface..
