NEXUS: Any guesstimate when the V4 motors will be in stock, and if so where?
I need a 17.5 for my new 2WD buggy and was eating towards the MMM but wight he V4's now, I think I'd rather have that.
I believe the Modified V4s will arrive first then later the "stock" winds. Early indication was end of June, but I will verify that later.

Excellent thanks!

Either way my new kit arrives Friday and I'm still 2-3 month away from being able to stand on my own again and have plenty of time to wait for them to be released, though I'll likely just install my spare 8.5 just to give it a few test/setup runs out back.

Hell, I even have enough time to send my parts out for custom ano.

Original Reventon Pro 1.0 units (not 1.1) are 25mm fans. Not 30mm. I think this might work to use 30mm fans:

Speed Passion has a V4.0 motor coming? Anyone have links to info?

Default on/off button issues???

Has anyone had any issues turning off their Reventon Pro's. I've had it happen twice recently. Hold down on the button and nothing is happening. Its offroad so COULD be a dirt issue and contact, but if that's the case turning on would be an issue as well. Thx everyone!!!

In regard to the 4.0 motors. Last correspondence I received stated late June early July for release. And YES... the will be dope!

I've run into this a few times. I usually just pull the battery plug…what Version do you have? Sometimes it seems that I'm not holding it down long enough….

Both times this has ben on my 1.0 pro. first time it happened couldn't get it to come back on... so got a bit concerned. Ivenot held down long enough as well many times...... but this time the red light didn't even blink. Probably need to throw my 1.1s in.... was trying to wear out the 'old blues' first. Guess its time.

Try blasting your ESC with a few bursts of compressed air to flush out any dirt that may be hindering full depression of the button.

Are there any lights on while your trying to turn it off? Sometimes (for some odd reason) it goes into a standby mode after a short period of no activity. I just apply the brakes then push and hold the button to turn it off.
