If the ESC does in fact have reverse, the instructions are unclear as to how to program the reverse function on this particular ESC . Out of the box, the ESC does not have the reverse function programed. I have programed the full throtle, nuteral, and full break already per the insructions.

I appreciate your help.

Cheers,

No...it does not. Stock Club Race ESC are not computer program upgradable or updatable, so there will NOT be reverse on it.

Solara: Can you confirm that you can use the reventon Pro with 4 pole motors as long as you are not using boosting features of the ESC?

the GT2.0 Pro does 4 Pole motors fine without boosting etc. I use it with the Pro4 4600kv from tekin, excellent ESC.

I can ONLY CONFIRM about what our customer used....apparently, when running REVENTON PRO with TURBO BOOST and 4 poles motor, that will not last long.

However, many customer running REVENTON PRO with blinky software, or Mod1 Mod2 software, with static timing ONLY with 4 poles motor...and it works fine.

Just no STOCK1 (turbo, boost, supercharger) software with 4 poles...

I prefer NOT to...I leave that thing on my signal wires since day 1 and I never have a glitch with my 1/8th..............1/8th running 2750 kv with 4 cells...a glitch ran away is NOT going to be pretty.

I would suggest taking the red pin out of the connector, folding it back and wrap it with electrical tape. That way you wont need to replace the RX wire if you decide to not run with an external BEC. The "magnet" is actually called a choke. Its just a piece of iron that acts as a filter, ensuring the signal to the RX is clean. It doesn't hurt to keep it on, but if you want to remove it, do so at your own risk.

Thank you, good to have a M.E and E.E on the team....

Thanks!

thanks for the info solara. So we can put the Reventon Pro down as able to do 540 4 pole motors with the right software.

I know guys who want the ESC but needed that confirmed.

Hello Solara,

First of all thanks for posting lots and lots of very useful information in both speed passion threads.

A few quick question I have a Reventon Pro and a Comp MMM 10.5 in a HPI Blitz 2wd SCT.

I have been playing with the DRRS 3.0 settings to get the best mix of traction and power. Is this setting limiting the maximum current to be pulled from the battery/current sent to the motor at x throttle position? or is it changing the throttle curves to be softer or more aggressive.

Secondly is the overheat protection of 95Deg for the motor or ESC ?

Thirdly I am running the Mod2 firmware as recommended by you.

How much do the power/brake curve/power application vary to the Stock0 Firmware? (I ask this due to our class requiring blinky mode but I prefer Mod2 with no timing)

Is there any tables or data that show how the firmwares vary behind the scenes.

Thanks.

Need 2 esc for sct
 
I am looking to purchase 2 esc for sct this year. I currently run a Tekin rs with a Revtech 17.5 in my 2wd sct and a Tekin Rx8 with a Tekin 4 pole 4000kv in my SCTE 4wd. I am happy with these but want to try something different this year. What Speed Passion esc are recommended to replace the ones I have and will be comparable in performance? I will be using these for racing only. 17.5 class is boost and timing settings, I do not run any timing or boost on my Tekin 4 pole.
Thanks

I went from the Tekin Rs to the Reventon pro in 17.5 and have not looked back.It is so much smoother.

Either 2 GT2.0 Pros or 2 Reventon Pros. Make sure you do NOT run any timing / boost with the Reventon Pro and the Tekin 4 Pole.

I run all GT2.0 Pros exclusively right now in my offroad vehicles including the Tekno SCT410, they work excellent. (correction, 1/8 buggy gets the Silver arrow V2 ESC)

I didn't see the 1/8 blaze, do you have a link?

However, I did see this when searching for blaze:

http://woody.tarad.com/shop/w/woody/...27205112_b.JPG

Curious as to what about the motor is different than the old 550ish Silver Arrow V2 motors other than Kv?

Price doesn't look bad though, wonder what other Kv options there will be?

Jason B 03-01-2013 04:25 PM

I'm seeing comments about timing issues with the Reventon Pro. If I'm running the Pro with a 7.5T Sonic w/20 degrees of timing, is that going to be a problem?
