thanks guys!

I have a HW digi box (2 actually) and wondered the same thing. I haven't found a clear answer yet. I haven't figured out how to "format" the box and install the SP software, but ran into problems. I kinda gave up, but I think I'll be ordering the Reventon R and a Silver arrow ESC for my 8th scale.


I'm excited to hear of a new 8th scale ESC. For my 8e (soon to be 8.2) and I plan to make it more of the Racer.

glad the sa2 were back instock heluva speed control! the sa2 was my first speedpassion prdouct and plan to make more purchases as the need arises. awesome smoothness now all we need are some 1/8 motors to go along with it. 1900kv range would be nice and maybe a low kv motor 1300-1400

Running a few Reventon S and really like them. I'd like to run a 10.5 and the 9.5 limit concerns me. I'd like a little more comfort.

Please do go ahead to run the REVENTON S with 10.5 or even 9.5 motor....I have tested the REVENTON S with 5.5 motor and it still work. Make sure you do mount a fan on the ESC and use fan on motor as well.

We do say motor limit to 9.5 is simply a liability issue. Our products are design beyond what we said it can be done....

Reventon R....me too are waiting and I hope it will be here soon.

My GT2.0 Pro just went up in smoke, and it's only under warranty for 4 more days. How do I go about obtaining an RMA?

I couldn't download the manual because the hyperlink was always in the way of the icon I needed, "prompting" me to register - so I did - but it's still there!

What gives?

Are you using a netbook or cell phone to do that...? That look like a SCREEN SIZE issue....if you can do it on a computer with a 17" or bigger screen, you will be able to click the "X" button and close that window and browse the rest of the site....

I will have that issue report back to the web designer and see what he can do.....I am looking at it on my cell phone now and I totally understand your problem.

NM... I overlooked the post above about RMA

I am hooked on this Speed Passion stuff. its so smooth and very durable and all their stuff looks top notch and I can't believe the price. you got a customer for life here!

thanks guys!

As long as you are running the SPEED PASSION firmware within your programmer box, you are all good...I don't think you are running the other brand's tunning firmware, because I don't believe they are interchangable. So your tunning option with SPEED PASSION is the same as others...

You download the latest firmware here...under Driver, Speed Passion USB Interface software V1.38 and software. It is within the GT2 ESC firmware.

Please do PM me your HW programmer card FIRMWARE name/number and I can give you some idea how to convert to SP firmware....it required quite a lot of steps but it is do-able. Please use PM.

Testing has been done for the past 4 months....they are in production now.

BTW...unless you are running more then 2 cells for 4WD SCT....you should get the Gt2 PRO for SCT 4x4 instead.

does the program box already have the new software V1.38 installed in it? I'm planning just junking the hobbywing one and purchasing the Speed Passion.
