If I powered it back up, it would just beep at me and flash the red light, actually it also seemed to loose it's throttle calibration, and often the throttle would not work at all again till I re-calibrated it.
I tried near everything I could think of to fix it, every setting etc, and got nowhere, then thinking it could not possibly be the motor, I changed the motor, and it stopped doing it, go figure.
So I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue with some motors, in my case with a Hobbywing motor, I bolted in my Thunder Power and it was fine, only other thing I though was odd, is the ESC seemed to run hotter than I'd expect with a 10.5T using blinky.
Thanks for the reply, I'm glad that I'm not the only person experiencing this problem. It would be nice to have some clarification from the SP reps, although I guess their on the Xmas holidays at the moment.
I was running the car in Stock1 mode, with a Vampire Type AB+ Bloodline 13.5T motor. As far as I know this motor is based on the popular GM motor, so I'd hope there wasn't a compatibility issue. Having said that, I didn't notice any issues with the ESC when I was using a Reedy Sonic 13.5T about a month ago.
I'm beginning to wonder whether it is to do with the note posted on the Speed Passion website, which goes as follows:
"Notice for Speedpassion Reventon Pro users using Viper motors:
It has come to the attention of Speed Passion that there has been compatibility issues for Revention Pro users using Viper motors. The cause of this issue is the temperature sensor unit within Viper motors. In order to use Viper motors with the Reventon Pro in sensored mode, disconnect or cut the temperature sensor wire. As viewed from the endbell of the motor, this wire is the second wire from the left on the sensor connector. Please see the figure below for further details."
Maybe the compatibility issue with motors is more widespread that they thought...
