Default

Just installed my new Reventon R in my F1 last night, already seem to be having an issue. I calibrated the ESC to my radio (Futaba), which was very easy. My only beef with this process is the fact that the LED's that you have to see to go through the calibration are located on the bottom of the ESC. If you've mounted the unit to your chassis prior to calibration, you'll likely be ripping it out again.
Anyway, the default profile appears to have some boost dialed in (even with the 21.5, the tires feel like they're going to blow off the rims), and almost no brakes. I need to be in blinky mode, and would like to dial in some drag brake and increase the braking strength. I installed the software (including the USB driver) on my Windows 7 laptop, but the LED program card is completely unresponsive. I've tried just updating the firmware for the card per the instructions, nothing happens - no prompts, nothing downloading... It really seems like an issue with the driver.
I'm racing tomorrow morning, would really like to get this hammered out. Any help would be much appreciated. I tried calling SpeedPassion twice, but I simply can't afford to hold for 15 minutes at a time, just to be forwarded to voicemail.
