Spektrum sr300 equals ummmm junk, u should know better Chrissy poo!

just a quick question, how do you get the 15 modes instead of the 10 that comes standard in the GT2.0, do you need the lcd cotroller insted of the led one that it comes with to enable you to be able to download a different software to enable the 15 modes. Is it worth it, what are they. Also I run a 6.5 V3 in a b44.1, mod 4wd buggy class, is it to much to have the timing on the max advance, 26.5 deg, I had some cogging issues and I put the timing back to 0 and played with the sensor wire, I think it was pulled out ever so slightly, and the cogging went away. So I don't know if it was the timing or the sensor cable that fixed it.

LCD is great to have. You will need it to d/l all the latest software. Especially if you plan on running higher turn motors with boost. IMO I woud stick with the software that came with the speedo which should be 205 mod...no need to complicate things with a 6.5 and boost. You have all the power you need.

When you hook me up a a radiopost I will switch!

But the problem is I never had a problem till I switched to Speed Passion!

I love the ESC but cant afford $400 buck plus for new TX and RX's.

So let me know about the hook up. :sneaky:

Do you think the SR3300T make a difference? I have one of those.

Radiopost got some good deals right now, but I do think its that particular reciever cuz the 6010 isn't a power hog by any means and I've never had issues with sp stuff even when I ran airtronics stuff

I left it in the stock no timing mode just calibrated.*
And it's been working great till today. I tq'd 4wd shortcourse and went out for my main and did 1 lap and it shut down. Changed out lipos none will work and I dnf'ed. Motor has been running fine 160ish temps esc 110 or so fan intact and running always.

All the esc will do is flash a red light no throttle input tried 2 receivers as well.*
Sometimes I will get power to motor but will run random even without input from transmitter.

Any ideas on what I can do?
Do you repair them?

Bought from us how can I get an rma?

Please contact our US office and follow the RMA process....Phone 1-888-928-1328

Howard, when do you expect the "Blaze" 550 motors, also the website shows them paired with Reventon "R" esc's. Is this accurate, for 4wd, and not the "Pro"

I think the 1/10th 4x4 and 1/8th version are due out at September.

Can your old programmer boxes be used on the Revention?

That button problem is resolved.

You cannot use the old programmer card on the REVENTON, beside, it came with the ESC, you don't need to use the old card...and all the programmer card came with the USB connection port for future software upgrade/update.

Hi is the Speed Passion MMM 17.5r motor good? Does it overheat? I will be running it in 17.5 blinky.

If you gear it wrong, or add too much timing....it will overheat, just like any other motor....

Let us know about the size of the track and we will give you a ball park timing/gearing for your setup....

I'm taking a little break from racing right now, ill be back out soon though

I got my Silver Arrow V2 installed and I went looking through the manual and I noticed that the warranty card says that if you do not send it in within 30 days, you lose the rest of your warranty (90 days total?)


Also, Where exactly do you send in the card? there is nothing on the card I am seeing that says where to send it to?

lastly, what is the most current software version to use on the ESC? Mine has: V1.00_111207a_2R

Q&A
 
just purchased my first hobbywing 150A but will be running a tekin 1900kv motor in sensorless operation i know the motor will run in sensorless mode but as far as racing it all the time will their be any issues with running sensorless cause esc is sensorless

Cain 07-15-2012 08:47 PM

this is a speed passion thread. you will need to contact someone on the hobbywing thread about there product I would assume.
