OK cool.

13. Its a public forum and I'm on here just like you...a fan and customer of RC racing. Officially yes I do work with Speed Passion and carry different responsibilities. My job title isn't necessarily tech support, but myself, Howard and a few others come on here to try and answer what we can.

If you have called Speed Passion you can ( or anyone) hit ext 107. That would go directly to me. I'll work with you on resolving any issues.

both websites are up as of this morning when I checked

GT2.0 LPF ESC for SC10 4x4
 

I was told that I could use the GT2.0 LPF with my SC10 4x4 is this correct? I currently own two GT2.1 Pro Stock ESCs, B4.1/T4.2, that I love. I have a GT2.0LPF that I would like to pair with the Blaze 4600kv or 5700kv motor to run open 4wd SC at our local track. Any input or help would be much appreciated.

I think the gt2.0 is favored over the lpf.


on a side note, I managed to resolve my issue and will try and write a detailed explanation to try and help others that might have the same struggles.



Momo

I believe you meant to say the GT2.0 PRO is favored over the LPF. both are GT2.0 series speed controls.

Correct. GT2.0 Pro model.

Since ive updated to the reventon in my buggies, I m7ght try this in my converted Rc8 sc.
looking at 550 motor options.



Momo

Momo I would suggest not doing it. The Sc8 is extremely heavy even with the 550 motor. You'll smoke a esc for sure.

A couple folks have said they were using the GT2.0 ESC in their 4x4 SC, and it seemed as though they said it was Losi or maybe Tekno. None the less, it seemed like it was more 8th scale based, partly why I was considering it. I had planned to pair it with a 550 sized motors. Perhaps I will hold off.



As I posted earlier I was having trouble getting the software to work.

I realized that its important to read the steps carefully and make sure you follow them exactly and in my case, I overlooked a crucial step that may have been the culprit.


1) Download the latest software version from SpeedPassion.net (Obviously)
http://www.speedpassion.net/us/download.asp
*You will need to "extract" or "Unzip" the compressed file,
so its best to have a utility that can do so. (I Used WinRar).
(It should generate or create a SPEEDPASSION folder, or you can create a specific folder in which you extract, the software however WILL generate a SP Program folder for the actual Program itself. I like making a separate folder to keep track of the specific updates.)

2) Once the file "Unzips" it creates Separate files. (Prog, PDF, and importantly the USB Driver update- More about this later)

3) Select the SETUP software and install the REVENTON Program.

4) Once complete, Install the SP-USB Driver program.

*Note that while all this is going on, the LED/LCD Box remains Disconnected*

5) **You will then need to RE-BOOT the computer.**

6) This is where you pay attention....
-Now connect the USB Cable to the LCD/LED Box
BUT NOT THE COMPUTER!!
-Hold the RESET Button- 2nd button from right
-Connect the Other end of the USB cable Into the Computer
-Once the cable is connected, then release the RESET button
-Now- Select the REVENTON Software and open it.
(This is where I think I was messing up in that it was open initially and I didn't Re-boot after the USBdriver installed.)
*Your computer may also run a 2nd USB driver install, for "Found New Hardware" *
-On the left side, you should see the "tab" or option for the FIRMWARE update
-Select the desired Firmware option *This can take a few Minutes*
*MAKE SURE THE ESC IS NOT CONNECTED!!!*

7) It should prompt after its complete

8) *I would re-boot again, JUST to be safe*

9) After the reboot, Open the Reventon software- connect the USB cord and the LCD device. Then connect the ESC to the device, remembering to disconnect the Fan. It should open the software allowing you to modify and recognize the ESC. Then you can select and update the ESC with the various Profiles- Mod1, 2, drift, stock, etc.


I hope this helps some folk. It DOES explain this in the manual, but for me, I wasn't re-booting and I ended up getting 2 different USB Driver install Prompts, one from the software, an another from the computer. *You may have to run both.*
I managed to get mine to work and get the software to work with the ESCs.

brake problems
 

i have a speed passion that i just got but when i did the calibration in the beginning you push the trigger the full brake but when i use the car it has no brakes to stop the car so can you guys help me to figure out what i did wrong or something tanks for reading

Actually you have to calibrate for full throttle, full brake, and neutral point.

Did you calibrate all 3 points?

What turn motor are you using?

yes i did

What is your endpoint set at right for brake.
