OK to use? I emailed support 3xs with no response. : (
thx!!!

I personally wouldn't use the reventon with anything but 540 can, 2-pole motors. It isn't really meant for 4x4sct.

ok, so know of any issues with trinity revtech 4800kv with a SP reventon pro?
# site says:
# Reventon PRO: 4.5R to 21.5R Motorturn.

what about the reventon pro itself, flaky firmware, etc?

the trinity revtech 4800kv is a 540 4 pole can and right now I am using a 120a HW. 540 Quad magnet is used.
the pro 1.1 is 140a, so to me logically it will be fine, unless some one had tried this already?


I emailed support just now....4 xs now.

I can't answer that question. I don't run anything but 2wd and 4wd buggies.. But I have Speed Passions in both and have yet to have a problem. I'd recommend them

This is not supported usage. Now, I don't know if this has changed recently, but when this was discussed a few times it was never confirmed by Speed Passion that the ESC can be used in this manner. Part of it may have been they were trying to boost the motors which when running 4 pole is a big no no with at least the Tekin motors for sure.

the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro however does work for 4 pole 540 and 550, I know, I used it in such matter with the Tekin Pro4 4000kv, 4600kv, and 4300Kv HD motors and the Hobbywing 4000Kv motor with the siliver rings around the middle.

I hope though that in the future, Speed Passion releases a full 1/8 ESC similar to what Tekin and Viper offer that covers the 1/8 classes and 1/10 4x4 SCT class.

USA support just responded, quickly I'll add. They said no and yes, yes with no timing and no boost. I'd like to use the wifi module in both my cars for programming, hence reventon. Any other SP Escs support the wifi or bt modules?

You don't need any timing or boost on those motors anyway. They have all the power you would ever need.

Only the newer Reventons work with the wireless modules. Older GTs will not.


The new 1/0 4x4 motors will be landing soon...

Yeah but can I be certain the rev pro 1.1 will not glitch out with the revtech? Opinions? Thx!!!

Cain 12-13-2013 10:57 AM

not unless you try it or someone else does. I am glad we got a definitive answer on if the ESCs can do 4 poles, assuming when you called you asked about the 540s and 550s?

derekbsmith 12-13-2013 11:00 AM

I only asked about the 540 4 pole. Here is the email resp;

No and Yes, only with no timing and no boost.

Im looking for a speedpassion 17.5 system
 
Its going in my Dex210 I am just not too well known on SP I was looking at the Novak Pulse/ Vulcan Combo but it is pretty Expensive and I know SP has good quality equipment

Thanks Guys!:D

How much of a risk reventon pro 1.1 with the revtech u think?
The revtech would be bought for ~120, warranty replacement.

Anyone have a gtpro 2 for sale?

Reventon ESC will not work with 4 poles motor if you are using TURBO (STOCK1) software on the 4 poles....it will work with 4 poles motor with MOD2 software with mild timing setting.

Of course it will work with 4 poles motor if running blinky....Stock0.

Cain 12-13-2013 11:36 AM

and to confirm, that includes 550 4 poles right?
