No, Australia

I have tried that. It will connect but then when I go to make changes it will say it is not connected

if you say the connections are fine and cables are good the only thing you can do now is contact speed passion customer service for rma if its still under warranty to have replaced.

Hello Carl,

Please shop from the Australia or the International(Hong Kong) warehouse. USA warehouse do not ship to your country.

Thank you

I need some help with my new Reventon Pro. I'm hitting the temp limit on the esc after about 5 minutes. It's installed in a SC10 4x4 with a Tekin SC4x4 5.5, 62 spur, 13 pinion, and Thunder Power 40c 5400maH saddle packs. The esc settings are 7.5 timing, no drag brake, and the lowest voltage cutoff 2.? It has the mod1 v19 firmware on it currently as I have not been able to upload the driver for the new firmware.

I was under the impression that these esc's could handle the 550 motors. Is this not the case? Thanks.

I don't think it will work. the Pro version will though. That is what I use.

Where are you topping out down the longest straight? Do you find you are at the high end of your throttle range most of the time or, are you barely using an throttle to get around the track?

Running that motor on a GT2.0 Pro ESC, I didn't like any timing on it on a tighter indoor track. I found it was better to use say turbo timing (the timing at WOT) on it and the 540 4 pole I went too, with the 2 pole being able to take more timing.

Try removing all timing settings or even going to a blinky setup on the ESC. Then, check your gearing based on where you are topping out down the longest straight. If its really early and you are just always at high to wide open on the throttle around the track, you may need to adjust your gearing. The motors though seem to NOT like a lot of gearing adjustment, and the SC10 4x4 seems to be a bit more strain on motors than what I am seeing with my Tekno SCT410. I would definitely run a fan setup on it. I use the integy heatsink and fan combo. works well.

I would up the cutoff voltage personally as well, you will get longer life out of your batteries and better runtime. You keep dropping them down to a very low cutoff and you will probably start to see drops in runtime. 3.3V or even 3.4V per cell is what i used on the 5200mah 50C promatch batteries I was using. The new IP 6000mah 80C ones are not badly priced on their site.

Good luck.

The track is small 40x80. The straight on the current layout is so short I never hit top speed before I have to slow it down into the sweeper.

I'll try it without the timing and then lower gear.

I usually run 3.2 cutoff. I turned it down to make sure it was the esc temp cutoff and not the voltage. Good advice though for prolonging battery life.

I have the Tekno as well. The drive train feels a little more free than the belt driven SC10 4x4. Not a bad 4x4 but I can turn inside it with the SC10 4x4 all day. I have a big race this weekend and I've decided to stick with what I know. Later I'll be tunning the SCT410.

No worries, what you are saying reminds me of my initial experience, the sc10 4x4 has like hyper steering, probably why they came up with that new steering rack in the FT to calm it a bit lol. I think I can get the SCT410 to steer as well, if not better in comparison, just need to work on setup but I agree with a big race its not a bad idea to give what you know a go till you feel more comfortable.

I will say this, even though the SC10 4x4 felt like it has more steering currently in my experience with my heavily modified SC10 4x4 when I had it, I could drive the sct410 more consistently fast.

Why does it seem like anyone associated with speed passion who posts in this thread are ignoring robs posts?

One reason i like SP is the information source here.

Is a fan needed on a Reventon S with 17.5 blinky, 2S in a 2wd buggy?

Is reventon PC program can identify those reventon pros and change setting successfully? Does the ESC can run normally if it is without bluetooth module?

follow along with what Cain has given as far as advice on this, he is on the right track. Personally, i think you are geared too high or there are alot of jumps and switchbacks that are causing you to get on and off throttle quite a bit.

good luck

Sal

Yes, I think you and Cain are right. I raced the 2wd tonight and I had to gear down 2 teeth on the pinion. The track is small to begin with but the current layout requires a lot of on and off power. I will find out in a couple of days. Thanks for the input. Very helpful.

Ok, but could you please post links to further point me in the right direction ?

Cheers
Carl

A buddy of mind runs the "S" with no fan and runs a 9.5. 2s 2we buggy. No problems.
