R/C Tech Forums - Speed Passion Thread

It's called expandable braided sleeving. It goes over the wire, and you use heat shrink tubing on the ends. I buy it here. I use 1/4" on most of the wires, and 1/8" on smaller wire like the antenna and the my laps.

Reventon Pro + Ballistic 17.5,
Reventon Pro + MMM 17.5 (+40 board),
Reventon Pro + Thunder Power 17.5,

The batteries I am using are Nosram 5600 saddles, Protek 4300 shorty, and Nanotech 4400 shorty. Final drive in all cars is around the low 5s.

had the same problem.you need to find the v21 firmware and all cogging problems is gone.i believe their is a link in this thread for it

How good is the warranty/ customer support on speed passion esc's. I'm looking at the revention pro for my new esc. Any known issues.

I have found the warranty and customer support to be great so far! I always get replies back within 3-4 hours whenever I have any questions.

Can anyone help me out with a link to the V21 firmware? I've spent all morning going through this thread page by page and can't find it :(

I need some help guys. I just bought a new reventon pro 1.1 and 10.5 combo for my rb6. I calibrated it with success (esc shut off when calibration was done like it is supposed to), but I am not getting any throttle input. The steering servo works, and the red and orange lights are lit like they are supposed to be. All wiring is correct, and I have tried two different sensor wires. I even tried another motor and still nothing. I hope I didn't get a faulty one. Any suggestions?

What radio? The throttle might need to be reversed on your radio. Do that then recalibrate

I just tried that with no success. I run a airtronics mt4. Its strange that it calibrates just fine but then acts like there is no motor hooked up. There has to be a simple solution.

So the only other thing I have done is hook the speed control up to the programming box and adjust a few things.

my gt pro 2.0's dont like my mt4 much. when I tried to press the button and turn it on, it would just run 3/4 speed and never calibrate. I flashed it with the HW v3.3 firmware package, tried it 2/3 times , then it worked fine. never had issues with my other airtronics radios.

Thanks for the response. I just tried using a different radio and receiver (dx3r) and it still does nothing with the throttle input. Any other suggestions?

Take off the sensor wire. See if it will work sensorless
