Been running Reventon Pro (and MMM motors) in races for quite some time now....latest being with the v19 Stock1 firmware. Fortunately for me, had never encountered any problems uploading new softwares on it. Here in Malaysia, the common class of racing are 4WD touring cars with 17.5t blinky mode, 13.5t boosted and 10.5t boosted. I normally run the 13.5t and 10.5t class.
In this part of the world (East Asia, particularly South East Asia), the field is dominated these days by ORCA, Dualsky, HobbyWing and Tekin's esc and motors. So when I jumped ship from ORCA electronics to SP, it raised some eyebrows. But to my delight, the Reventon Pro and MMM motors are a match against other popular brands here.
Am glad that I chose SP. Personally, I find it very reliable, has strong top end speed although a little bit more mid-range power will be nice. Am having problems in this area against the ORCAs.
Here are my esc settings I use at my local track (technical layout with 150 ft straight) with an SP MMM 10.5t motor on a Yokomo BD7 -
DRRS - 7/8
Start RPM - 5000
Hybrid Boost Active - 80%
Hybrid Boost Max RPM - 150k
Turbo Delay - 0.2 sec
FDR - 6.10
This esc setting has propelled me to some great positions in A Main and also wins.
Thank you for sharing your setup.....yes, we have compare our ESC to ORCA, V3, Orion and Dualsky and we are definitely not BEHIND at all (couple big race in HK were won by Reventon PRO over V3 and Dualsky).
Yes....BOOST is the ASIAN thing...they just refused to slow down, they rather want to see their ESC and motor to make magic smoke then slowing down.....LOL
You will like the new V20 software for STOCK1...we have driver tested that and it will take care of the lack of mid-range problem all right...I think we will release the new software right after new year (or eariler).
Thank you for your support on Speed Passion products...
