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.

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.

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.

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.
