None of that works even if i connect esc the esc lights up orange and thats about it. So my first track session was MOD1 I guess default with no drag brake.

Any thoughts>?
I bet its driver software not fully installed. I had a similar issue when I first got it. It Reventon would come up, but it wouldn't recognize speedo. It had to do with a setting on the laptop where I had to click and allow the driver software or something like that. All I remember was going into settings and checking each individual usb and to make sure they worked and remember finding this box with driver software name on it and clicked and it worked. Sorry doesn't seem like much help.

Alan,

Many of our drivers have started using the newest line of Blaze motors that were made to run with the Reventon line of ESCs. Do you have a question in regards to if anything has been updated or looking for example ESC settings running 4x4SC?

Default Problem with the cutoff

Hello there
I have a problem with the controller Reventon Pro 1.1 Brushless ESC - Metal Black Silver
The cutoff is set to 3 V after the cutoff vehicle shuttle stops the car at 3.8 V
Is there a solution to this problem that happened with my batteries Turnigy nano-tech A-SPEC 5600mah 2S 65 ~ 130C Hardcase Lipo Saddle Pack and the same thing happened to my friend with the same controller
It is important to note two new controllers
Thanks

Hi!

One question, will the Reventon R work OK with the Speed Passion Competition V3.0 5.5t? Would this be a crazy setup for a 2wd buggy?? It is just to play around... Speed runs and some jumpings...

How about the gearing for that motor? What FDR should I use?

Thanks!!!

Personally, I wouldn't go below 7.5 with the R.. On ebay you can get a Pro for like 89 bucks with free shipping so if you really want a 5.5 that would be the safest option.

Any of the reventons pro is ok? Or is a special model...

Edit: couldn't find a pro for that money... I can get the R on a combo with the motor for 100 and is offered with the 5.5t too... So 7.5t is OK?

I just looked and it seems they are all more now! sorry about that. But 7.5 should be fine. I know they say you can go down to 5.5 on the R... I think when you get that close to the limit you are pushing it.. I run 8.5's on my R's and have yet to have a problem. So I'm sure 7.5 would be fine

And how powerful compared to a 13.5t (ultra sportsman) is a 7.5t?

Thats important... I have 81 spur and 29 pinion, it is pretty slow in the 13.5t, what should I do with the gearing??
