Any suggestions. I will call speed passion again in the am. I also disabled low voltage and thermal
I called speed passion and they are sending out a new esc today. I am impressed with the response speed!

The GT Pro 2.0 only supports "brushless" motors.

Searched a bit without finding an answer.


What is the hottest firmware to use on the Reventon S?

Same question for the Reventon Pro using a 10.5 in 2wd buggy? Tried one of the Mod versions, but it seems it may be better using the on of the Stock versions to use the boost functions.

Hey guys, I'm desperately looking for the programmer card for the cirtix series esc, i have the stock club race esc so I can't use the USB programmer. If anyone has one they're willing to part with, please send me a PM

Cant find one in stock anywhere!

You should be able to use the programer, you just cant update software or tune off blinky afaik.

I want to say I was able to change my drag brake and punch from the box.

Default Reventon PRO 1.1 with 8.5R motor

Hello,

I bought this combo new and I put it together today. However, the motor does not spin. The steering servo works fine. I calibrated the radio/ESC many times but the motor does not spin. I tried a different sensor cable and rx cable. Any ideas. Thank you

I have a radiopost TX and RX.

Double check your motor wires and make sure you're calibrating in the right order. If you can, see if the motor will run on someone else's ESC to make sure the motor is fine.

Ugh.. I forgot how short the sensor cable is that comes with the Reventon R. Gonna have to brave the cold weather and see if my LHS has a longer one.

I'd order one from Speed Power but they don't have them in stock.

I just got 2 Pro 1.1's last weekend and installed them both. one was perfect and the other did this very same thing. So I dropped my car on my table and it lurched forward so I grabbed it and tried the throttle and it did nothing so I held down the throttle and smacked the car on my knee and it kicked on.

Seems something was loose inside from factory. My buddy is their local rep so he simply swapped me out for another one which was perfect and sent the bad one back for evaluation/replacement.

I've had nothing but excellent experiences with Speed Passion products outside the single ESC and their Motors are also top notch. Just wish they'd place the plugs all on the same side so the wires all reside together for a slightly cleaner look. All in all, still the nicest and cleanest motor installs I've seen.

Same here, I have had good luck out of the 2 revention pros and the revention r for my son. I can't wait to see if my revention pro handles the 4600kv 550 can corr motor in my buggy that will truly impress me!!!
