hi,
i ordered a 2.1 pro stock esc, a 17.5 mmm and the lcd programmer
returning to the rc car hobby after 7 year break from it and have never used brushless in a rc car.

i have vista 32 bit and 64 bit o.s. in my pc. will the upgrade software work with
my vista computers? or do i have to upgrade to 7?

Anyone have any direct contact for Speed Passion.
I have been trying for over a month to get an RMA number on the web site and constantly get a Internal 500 error every time I hit submit. I have tried on 2 machines at 2 different locations with 3 different browsers and same thing. So started sending emails the last couple weeks asking for an RMA number and explaining what is going on, and no response. Then this last week I start to call because my warranty is up soon, They answer take my name and number and say they will call back and never do.
Seriously this is ridiculous. Any Ideas on how to get them actually do something and fix my stuff.

Go with the 2.1 Pro Stock, for the b4.1. It runs anything you want. I run 7.5 with no fans no problem in my 2wd Cougar SV.
On another note, has anyone run the SP speedos with non sensor motors? Is there a setting change to make with the LCD? Or just disconnect the sensor cable? I know if I was on the track, and there was a cable failure, I would see a output difference. I dont know for sure what to do.

Just kidding........it will work on 32bit. But honestly...XP and Win7 is a way better choice.

For loading the upgrade software. You load the SP software onto your computer, then you connect your program box to the computer, update the software on it, then use the box and computer to update the firmware on the speedo. All works better with either XP or 7 than Vista.

Hello, bought a Speed Passion 8.5t,ultra sportsman version 2.0 from a reputable guy at my track. It was still factory sealed, and never been messed with. I put it in my buggy, double checked all my solder joints, and connections. Turned remote on, then car. Gave it some throttle, and poof. Smoke!
Went on to the speedpassion web-site, found the 888 number, called. I get a repeated message to hit 0 to continue. I hit 0, and it replays again to hit 0 to continue. All I want to do is send it in to get fixed. Not lookig for a hand-out in any means..... If you wouldn't mind, could you let me know what i have to do? Thanks Doug

I ordered the Speed Passion silver arrow v2.0 2200 motor combo on amainhobbies.com this week.
I plan on trying it out in my hyper 9e. How well are these holding up in 1/8 buggy and what gearing have you guys been doing? So far i've read many of the pages here, but no one mentioned about putting them in the hyper9e.

I don't know does VISTA has that feature but I know Window XP does...but I think it will work on VISTA at the beginning.
