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.

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
