Got myself a reventon s spec speedy today and like how smooth it is
Can anyone tell me if and when this speedys are going to be roar approved

Thanks Jim

I want to find out the same, submitted this awhile ago and they have no word for me....

LCD box is just a LINK between your computer and the ESC, it does not CARRY any software itself...you have to upload the firmware and have the LCD updated then download the software from the computer to the esc...

Solara,
everytime I try to go to your site I get a banner saying your site is HAcked. please check this

you are correct i just checked and it says we love iran......weird i just ordred a speed control on tuesday.

glitching problem
 

Hi guys I was playing around last nite with my catsx3 and the servo started glitching
I run spectrum module with savox servo and the reventon s speedy
The problem is fixed now changed the servo and it went away

Savox servos are known to be power hogs and can cause glitches because of this. It seems especially prevalent when in combination with Spektrum radios/receivers. A quick fix is usually just to plug a capacitor into the receiver. Racer's Edge sells one pre-wired for this. It is called a Glitch Buster and is about $5. Basic wiring skills and most capacitors used in RC will do the trick as well.

Ahhh !!!!! wrong polarity.
 

Just got some new batteries, they have the polarity of there tubes on opposite sides to the battery I was using. I didn't notice when I went to hook my speedy up. Sparked so I instanly pulled it away. I hooked up my original battery but the capacitors smoked up big time. Please Please tell me I've only fried the capacitors and not the speedy. :cry:

Try put a new cap and give that a try....and watch the battery wiring this time.

any prelim info on specs for the new 1/8 in the works? Will this be smaller, etc? I am liking the SAV2 so far, possibly get some race testing on it this weekend and hope to have a better showing than the SAV1 did.

Definitely not smaller...but also, not bigger. If it can handle 6 cells, I wish it is bigger...I want a BIG ESC that can handle 6 cells without blowing up in 2 runs...my 1/8th have tons of space and size of the ESC does not matter a bit.

for my 1/8s before going back to speed passion I was using the small castle MMP with great success in buggy at least.

The SAV2 just barely fits on a TEKNO converted D8 and will be a tight fit on the new Tekno buggy I believe. I agree though one that doesn't blow up would be great for sure LOL.

Has any thought been put into maybe making the ESC taller via heat sinks, etc? Reason I ask is that the footprint is pretty big, but I have room to go taller, especially with bodies now that are made in regards to cars that need the ESC higher than the batteries (ie- saddle designs).

Part of the effective size of the SAV2 considered is the location of the wires as well coming out of the ESC for the receiver and power switch. If the new one has these as plug and play like the GT2.0, that would help A LOT.

one other thing that I know I thought could be cool to have, a plug and play external BEC setup.

Will your next ESC be capable of handling 1/5 electric duties to some degree like the MMM can in the new HPI Super 5SC Flux on 6S?

I just copy and pasted your "wish list" and forward to those who design the new 1/8th esc...THANKS.

I think, we will have a new ESC for the 1/5th size...however, we also need to see where is the market for 1/5th....it does not seem big enough.

Cool, even if you are pulling my leg hell that still sounds cool LOL.

for true 1/5, will be interesting to see. There are those out there willing to buy, heck, it was big enough that HPI made that 5B Flux (the 5SC Flux since its savage based doesn't need as much ESC at least, or, so it seems). For that level datalogging, etc with a truely robust BEC or maybe an option to plug in an external BEC that is extremely robust would be great.

heck, I would love to see a modular kind of design to an ESC if it was possible so you could configure it as needed for your conditions.

whatever happened with that 1/5 motor you guys had? Is that still around or is it discontinued?

Not enough lipo to power that thing...beside, who would like to play 5 minutes with 2 hours of charging..?
