Hey guys,

Curious how well the wireless android ESC programing works on the reventon pro, also how do you guys like the throttle responce/smoothness? I'm gonna use it in 17.5 buggy and loved the gt2.1 in my 1/12 pan car. I'm just looking for smoother throttle. After racing 1/12 scale my 1/10 lrp feels more on/off like.

The bluetooth module with the android app works awesome. I run 17.5buggy with a reventon pro and the throttle response and smoothness are great night and day difference over the tekin Rs I was running.

No comparison the Rev pro is ten times smoother than the lrp and the bluetooth works flawless.

I have a Reventon Pro that will not program from the card - when you have the program open on the PC and then the card plugged in to the USB and it says connect the ESC - then nothing happens - the PC program doesn't open up with the settings options.

It's not a PC or usb driver isssue because I have another Pro that programs perfectly - anyone had this problem - any help ??

Give that a try.....
Solara,
Did some testing today and I believe pulling that wire has taken care of the problem.

Hi Solara,

Are you expecting any more stock of the Silver Arrow 2 esc to come in at some point?

Or is it now finished until a new esc appears (if one is!)!?

Also, I hav a Reventon pro...is there a more powerful option capacitor than the one included?

Is there ever going to be an update that allows the newer Reventon LCD box to work with other Speed Passion ESCs? Because honestly, the $35 LCD programmer plain sucks. Cheap plastic, buttons are terrible. The Reventon box atleast feels like it has some worth to it.

I'm looking for some suggestions on where I need to start with the setting on my LPF gt 2.0 ESC. I'm running a losi 22 with a 17.5T Orion VST. I do have the professional programming box that I can hook to my laptop.

Any good starting points would be appreciated since I have never messed with a Speed Passion esc.

Let me know.

Thanks
Bob

I had the same issue just two days ago( first time I used it) the driver was not installed properly. I removed all the software and reinstalled it EXACTLY like the YouTube video by speed passion and it works fine now. Try removing and starting over. I spent hours trying to figure it out because everything " looked" right on the pc but for some reason it wasn't working .
Only problem I have now is the first time I went to use the Reventon Pro , I plugged the battery in about ten minutes before the race, and it fried just sitting there on the bench.??? It actually burned the positive terminal right off the circuit board for no apparent reason. I guess i will find out how thier warranty service is now. It went through the Calibration process and bench testing just fine so I don't know what happened. Anyone else have this problem.
