Has anyone had luck getting through the 888 number for sp USA? I've called probably a dozen times in the last week and haven't spoken to a person yet. I have a reventon pro that the lower case is broken on and am trying to get a replacement. I see them listed on the site but can't order it. Help!

Thanks for that, weather is warming up a bit here but I'll give it a few short runs without it and see how it goes.

Anyone?

Also one more question... I was racing last week and noticed when i was waiting around to line up for a race, i would hit the throttle and the buggy wouldn't move then i would release the throttle and wait a couple seconds and press the throttle again and then it would go? It happened only 2 or 3 times then ran with no problems the rest of the night. Anyone know what could of been the issue? brown out? sensor wire?

No you need to gear it like a mild mod if your adding that much boost. Start at maybe 23/78

Thanks a bunch kwik! Any idea on the second question I had? Also would I start gearing pinion smaller and spur bigger or oter way around if I feel I need a little more power?

Might be sensor cable.
Start at the gearing I posted and check temps after a min keep it under 140. Gear til you get decent temps and you max top speed at 3/4 mark down straight. It's gonna be a compomise. Small pinion/large spur will give more torque. Opposite of this more top end

Perfect! Thanks so much for the info! Racing tomorrow will post back with results and any info. I'm still a novice only raced 4 times so far But, hoping to soon jump to the stock class! Thanks again kwik!

Reverse motor
 
I want to run my revention pro on a mid motor setup but I need to reverse the rotation. Does anyone know of anyway to do this with this esc? Thank you

Just bought a new Reventon Pro 1.1 esc and motor combo on the black Friday special. Installed the speedo, wired it up correctly, set it to my radio.

Wanted to change the throttle profile and all, speedo will not connect to the lcd program box, nor my pc using the software. When hooking it up to the lcd programmer it just says "Speed Passion. Reventon" When hooking up to the pc the programmer says : "Connecting PC" Does nothing more then that. I have verified all connections are correct. Even tried doing a firmware reset/install on the lcd programmer.

Anyone else have this issue before? Could it be a defective speedo, or lcd programmer?

That doesn't make sense. You shouldn't need to reverse a motor to run mid motor in any of the cars I am aware of. B5M, RB6, 22...what are you running?

Sounds like one of the wires is not connected properly. Might be the one connection from the ESC to the programmer. Make sure it's plugged into the right port on the programmer (should be middle one) and the + and - all line up.

In case you missed it or were not on the original pre-order that team guys were part of you can get the new 2014 Speed Passion gear here. The pre-order will be live for about 2 weeks.

I've connected the lead to the wrong port early on when the Reventon ESC's first came out. I struggled for a moment, my eye sight did not help much either. I just leave the lead connected when found the correct port.
