Cause i don't want to download some sponsor software for just using the winzip for only 1 time.

Could be a sensorboard issue in the motor. In any case, I've had that happen before, but it never effect actual racing.

After completing the update to my esc i'm unable to use the (blue) smart lcd program card when i would like to change some settings to the ESC without my computer, is this normal?
Even when i try to use my LCD professional program card it won't work either.
Even when i would like to connect the ESC to my computer it will not work, the ESC will not reconize the program card.
To my understanding i'm only able to change my ESC settings with a connection to my computer and not with just only with any program card.
If that's correct i'm very dissapointed in this speedpassion thing, cause i really do not like to take my computer with me everytime i'm going to practice or go to a race.
I really like the speedpassion speed controllers but if this is the case i will sell my reventon pro esc and i will not buy any speedpassion esc anymore.
Hopefully someone can help me out if it's possible to use only the program card for changing the esc settings.

I'm not 100% following you, but I will attempt to answer your problems.

1. You only need your PC if if you want to change Firmware/Profile from say Stock0 to Mod1 or similar. If you just want to change settings within a Firmware you just need the programming box. All the drag brake, protection settings, etc. can be set by just using the programming box.

You should double check your are using the correct port to plug your ESC into the programming box. It should be the middle one on the blue box. Also make sure you are matching the positive and negative connections. I just had this issue with a local racer who described the same problem and thought his programming card was bad.

Also note the following when using Reventons...

PC + Programming car connection to ESC = DO NOT have battery connected
Programming car only to ESC = connect battery for power

Any ideas?
We've tried different batteries and connectors, have not tried a different motor yet.
Strange. I would try to re calibrate the TX to the ESC again.
