Sounds to me like it is a sensor wire connectivity problem. Check the sensor wire or try a new one. If the problem still occurs perhaps a connection on the sensor board on the motor went bad. That motor should scream the instant you pull the trigger when the sensor wire is connected like it should be. In sensorless there is a delay.

If that is your benchmark....then yes, definitely not going to be more then that price for the "R" version..."S" version will be much cheaper then that.

Very glad to hear! Also will all verisons support the wi/fi and bluetooth modules??

Swapped the sensor wire and the same problem occurred. Next I'm going to try swapping out for a different 17.5 motor. If that doesn't work, I'll try another ESC. Is there any way to check the sensor board, short of sending it back to the manufacturer?

Howard, Sent you back that email. (Finally) :blush:

All version of REVENTON has the optional WIFI or BLUETOOTH module to add on and can be use with I-phone or android device. Except Reventon Stock Club Race that is not computer/phone adjustable by rule.

Jimmy...I've got it, give me some time and I will get back to you, along with others.

Need info from Speed Passion expert...

Well all here's the verdict. Got home and soldered in a different 17.5 motor(Speed Passion). Got the same problem, two stage acceleration. Soldered up my old GT V1.1 with the SP 17.5 and the newer sensor wire, re-calibrated the radio and ... no two stage. Just smooth acceleration. I guess the next question is for Howard or any one else related to Speed Passion. My GT 2.0 LPF ESC is in need of service. It was bought well over a year ago, 2009 or 2010. Any idea what they will charge to fix it? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Different speeds
 

Hi all:

I am noticing what I believe to be a problem with my new Cirtix SC master / Ultra-Sportsman 13.5 combo. When I pull the trigger to full throttle, it will do 1 of 2 things:

- Go to full throttle smoothly
- start, then stutter and never get to full speed.

If the latter happens, the only way I can get it to go to full throttle is to completely stop the motor. As this is my first bl system, I don't have any other motors or speedos to swap in. Just wondering if these symptoms are indicative of something?

Thanks
Matt

Upon further checking, it appears to be a sensor problem. If I pull the sensor wire, it always operates in the stutter / slow mode. I'll pick up a new sensor wire on the way to the track tomorrow, and try that out.

Is it possible to have sensor problems in either the motor or speedo?

Thanks
Matt

Guys I experienced first hand the two stage issue?stutter. What was happening with my car was this. Turned on, the speedo was i neutral. Three pulls of the trigger from 0 -100 then the green light flashed one flash consistent. I tried a reprogram, I tried a manual reset, and I tried to call Albert... I thought my speedo was bad due to the fact of the motor was brand new, so I wired the second 2.0 pro, and reset the basic setting, and rechecked. The green light still flashed. I replaced the sensor cable, and it still flashed. Then I said, I will swap motors. Did so and voila, flashing light gone. I opened the motor and replaced the sensor board, and rechecked everything, reinstalled the original speedo, and sensor cable. I had the opportunity to do some testing today. Let me just say, my car has never been faster. People asked all day, what motor is that. I replied "Its a Speed Passion 13.5 MMM", they replied "13.5???????????????...
I added 1 OZ, just to keep the nose down.:eek:

I cant wait for the Reventon's. My SP 4400 KV/paired with a 2.0 pro in blinky mode rocked today. I let e few other guys rock it for a little, and they could not believe the difference from their own cars.

New sensor wire didn't fix it. I submitted the RMA this evening, and will send it back tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be a quick turn-around. Good thing I kept the stock motor as a backup.

Thanks
Matt

Anybody run blinky with the 2.0 lpf? I was wondering if the led can be seen? Dont seem to find a hole in the case for the led to be seen.

Joel
Unfortunatley the led is on the bottom of the case. Same LED used for the throttle/brake/neutral. You should still be able to see it from the side as the bottom of the case is a smoke tinted color.

ty sir!
