I see others have posted about not detecting it and I too had the same issue. I tried multiple downloads and uninstalled and re-installed etc. Still not working.
Using an IBM Thinkpad running XP SP3.

Here is what I did-
-Downloaded the latest software from the SP site.
-Once downloaded, ran the USB software- (Windows msg about finding new hardware, tried both cancel and trying to install from the software downloaded)
-Followed the manual instructions
-When I initially connected it, I would see the ESC light up, but later, no lights. I would get 2 dash lines on the LED box.

I did try checking the settings using the box alone, and was able to make changes to the basic settings, but I really need the Software to make other changes. Not sure where to do from here.

I have uninstalled and re-installed a couple times. No Difference.

Is your programmer box updated also? Are you running a fan and is it unplugged?

browsing the classifieds and noticed the cirtix R8 up on one.

Curious, what every happened to this ESC? Looked pretty good. No mention on SP's site anymore on it but there is historic info on it.

I hadn't tried w/o the fan, (though I just did, and nothing) I did see the box recognize.


I'll see if it will let me update the firmware.

**UPDATE**

Not sure what did it, if resetting the box was what caused it or what, but i was able to get into the program. Can't wait to get this into my Drifter.

I'll know what to do once I get my R-Pro version hopefully in a few weeks or so.


Thanks Nex!

Make sure that your brake endpoint are turned up as high as the radio will allow. (some go up to 150%) and then recalibrate the throttle

Mine goes to 150... I'll try thanks

The R brakes are rubbish. Pro brakes on Mod2 are amazing. We using need Mod2 for the R. Be interested if you find them better at 150 percent

No better.... Yes Pro Mod2 brakes are amazing.... The R won't run Mod2. Looks like I'll have a R for sale

Not sure what is going on but out of the three R's that I have run they all had solid brakes. What's your init brake force and braking percent set to? I recently moved to the Rev pro and to be honest the pros brakes feel softer to me than the R did.
