A Reventon S is rated to run a 7.5, but it would be at it's limit. That black can Comp 3.0 S motor is pretty good. If you want something more stout maybe look into the V3.0 8.5R or 9.5R motors. Those are fast and discounted right now. shop.speedpowerrc.com also has a 25% off everything sale so that would bring any of the motors down in price.

Been a long time user of Speed Passion but they seem to have fallen on hard times with their Customer Support. I have been looking at Hobbywing and they seem to have it together from what I can see. The setups in programming card and ESC seem to be identical. Also seem that they are built in same factory in China. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried to Load their software onto a SP program box? upload it into an SP esc? They basically look IDENTICAL from the spec sheets. One other thing Hobbywings web site seems to get updated more then once a year. also updated software and much better at handling customer concerns.


Thanks for any reply

As for the HW issue...I've heard in the past some users have tried this, but I thought it was with the GT line. It may or may not work, but for sure would void any warranty.

Does the Rev Pro 1.1 have more braking than the 1.0?

I have a Reventon R and 10.5MMM combo coming. I'm very hopeful that the R will be enough esc at 70a for my small indoor local track in a 22-4.

I had planned on hobbywing but their Black Friday deal brought the combo down to $80 and that was too good to pass up. Anyone know if I'll need to add a capacitor?

The upgraded internals are better suited for handling the heat generated by braking. The 1.1 was mostly the results of testing by the Pro Modified Touring car drivers who arguably push the ESCs to the highest limits.


The R will work fine with a 10.5 MMM. It's rated to run as low as a 7.5. Just make sure you update all the software when you get it.

It will work fine. I have 3 of them and one I run 10.5, the other 7.5 and a spare. No problems at all.... I have heard if you do have a problem it will only be if they arrive dead. Then you could have a problem exchanging them in a timely matter. That's why I have a spare. What ever you do don't hook the battery up wrong or you will burn the speedo out. That sale usually last till the end of the year. It is a hell of a deal. Even if you go with their High End Speedo, where else can you get those combo's DEALS? I just was wondering about the Hobbywing because they seem identical. With the same computer hookups and LED Program Card.

Thanks guys! I'll update when everything's up and running.

What sort of ESC/Motor combo would you guys recommend for 4WD Buggy used for bashing (no racing)? It's a hopped up Tamiya DB-01 running metal-outdrive ball diffs and a slipper. I do have the gear-diff options as back-up in case the ball diffs become too much trouble.

I'm thinking the R should be sufficient (though I would rather not run an ESC fan for clearance), but not sure on what motor to get. A better question might be: What motor can run in this car and still avoid using the fan on the Reventon R?

How about a Reventon R with a V3 or V4 10.5T motor. That would be good.

Had a weird issue on the weekend with my Reventon R. About 5 minutes into a 7 minute final I was leading by nearly a lap when it cut out when like it was hitting LVC. I was pretty annoyed thinking I'd put the wrong battery in because I had done 2 heats with no problems before hand. When I got home and went to put the batteries on storage, they all showed up around the 3.75v per cell range. Any idea what could have happened?

Do you have voltage and heat protection turned on or off? In general I would say most racers will turn these features off.

I know LVC is turned on so I would say heat protection is aswell. I will turn them off.

I have a speed passion reventon R esc when turned on blinks red telling me its in blinky mode but also the orange light is on as well it the power goes to solid red but no power to the motor went to reset the esc but I don't hear any beeps when pushing the set up button on the switch any body have this problem? thanks

Does anyone have a part number for the 4 screws that attach a 25mm fan to a SP esc?
Or at least a correct size and length? Thanks!
