Service and support were Awesome!!
They did indeed warranty the capacitor. Sent me a new pair within days!! ESC was not damaged. Look for the black line on the side. It should be closer to the black wire than the red.

i ran the reventon pro esc with a reedy 4.5 550 motor and it stayed nice and cool.
here's the downside:
after a rough landing with my sc10 4 x4, the bottom half of the case(plastic) literally shattered into pieces.
I'm gonna send in what's left for service and see what the warranty would cover.
I'll keep everyone posted

What were you running for ESC software and settings?

so going to run my new Revention Pro tonight at practice. Running a Tekin Gen2 6.5 in 4wd buggy. I need to cut the temp sensor wire from the sensor harness correct?
I think ROAR has a schematic in the rule book on the sensor connector, I can locate and cut it.

Hi all. I am quite new to all the brushless esc and motors. I am using the SP gt2.0 pro in both 2wd & 4wd with 6.5 & 5.5 motors in my buggies. I have updated the software on both speedo's to 428 Mod, but I can't find anywhere that explains what each of the new functions does if I adjust them up or down eg 'turbo slope' 'turbo timing' etc. can someone tell me if there is an explanation on these new setting that I can down load from somewhere.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The turbo slope is how hast the turbo timing kicks in. At the higher numbers and "fastest" it will kick in hard when you get to full throttle. So with a mod buggy and lots of turbo timing and a higher setting you will probably pull a big wheelie halfway down the straightaway. Less timing or less aggressive slope will kick in but not be so aggressive.
It's as simple as that.

I've re-soldered the wires, I've also got a programming card and changed the setting to see what happens. Well, I still have the same result. Sooo. I guess I'll have to send it in to be looked at. The reason I think it's the ESC is because I have put my novak Havoc Pro SC in and it works but doesn't have the punch.
So, any other recommendation would be apprciated before I send this in.
Thanks

I'm new to the Speed Passion ESC and I have a LPF 2.0 GT in my losi 22 with an orion vst 17.5t motor. Tonight was the first night I've run it so I was rather impressed the first few laps then all of a sudden it started running at about 1/2 power. Took it off the track and checked things and pulled the throttle and it seemed to run fine. Did a couple more laps and it went into limp mode again.
Battery pack was charged but I tried a different one to make sure and it did the same thing with that pack. The batteries are GenAce 30C 4000 mah 7.4V.
I have a programming card on the way and was wondering if there is a setting that needs to be adjusted. I got the speed control used and all I could do is program it to my throttle.
Please help?

OK....typical sensor (less) mode problem...
(1) Turn off lipo cutoff feature and give that a try
(2) Turn off thermal protection and give that a try
(3) change motor sensor cable...get a new one
(4) Check the motor sensor board (what motor was that..) Change another motor and try
(5) Bump the DRRS to 9 and give that a try
If none of the above work...the sensor port on the ESC failed...ESC is probably un-fixable or actually it cost too much to fix it, then buying a new one.

Lipo cutoff was set at 2.6v and I did try the DRRS at 6 and 9. I did not turn off the lipo or the thermal.
I do know when I used the same sensor wire and changed from the Speed Passion ESC to my old Novak Havoc that I did not have this problem. Bad thing is the Novak doesn't have the punch that this one does.
The motor is an Orion 17.5t VST.
