The Speed Passion Thread
Well took it to the track today and got the servo steering with the tx so thats good, after calibrating the throttle still no luck with that. Tried a different motor still nothing, not my trackstar motor. Rx binds or the steering wouldnt work. If anyone can help I think I narrowed it down to the reventon S esc or the throttle calibration. Usedthe manual throttle cal settings and get all the beeps and even see the motor and belt budging but after shutting down the rx and powering back on still no response from the throttle ! Anyone ?

If your servo is moving then maybe something else is just wired wrong. Maybe you need to reverse the throttle on your radio then do the calibration.
Ok helpful racers, after wading through and not finding what Im looking for I would like to know if the Reventon S is good for F1 or would the R be better. Also, the GT2.1 is on massive sale so I was looking at that one as well. While we're at it, I snapped off one of the micro screws in my 2.1 pro. Any ideas how to get that little sucker out?

If space is at a premium on your F1 like most are, you may consider the 2.1. The wires mount lower on the GT. If you look at the Reventon's the receiver wires plug in at the top of the ESC.
I used a Cirtix on my F1 which has a similar setup. I cut the tabs low and hard wired the receiver and on/off wires on to save some space.

So I only have 3 race days on my Reventon R and I am having problems. I have no power to the esc with a lipo...I can connect the esc to my computer via programmer and I see lights, but when I plug a battery in and flip the switch, nothing. Any help before I throw it all away and but something higher end?
