Thanks for the reply, I guess I got pretty lucky with these two since they've lasted 6mo+..

Mind if I ask where you sent them to be replaced?

Thanks

Rcspeedpower.com, in Chicago, but I wouldn't bother the last one I sent in was in January, and I haven't heard a word from them after multiple attempts to call, email, chat, PM. To say their customer service is bad would be a ridiculous under statement.

Im thinking something is fishy with that Chicago address. I sent one in earlier this year as well with no hint that they even received it. Of course, I lost the tracking # so I guess Im out a Reventon Pro. Oh well, the Rs work great for me anyway.

Yeah I've pretty much written mine off as well, it's too bad I really liked the performance of the Reventon Pro's but never again. Replaced that one with a HW 3.1 and have been pretty happy with it, and even better it still works.

Does anyone know where to send in a ProStock ESC for repair? Is it worth the effort/cost to even fix it? Thanks.

Is that one of the older generation Pro Stock 2.1s? There really isn't a repair process that I know of and that ESC isn't made any more. You're better off buying a new one. You can get a Reventon R or Stock Club Race for about $60.

LOL yeah I have a bunch of Reventon Rs. I was just curious. I even have a brand new 2.1 ProStock! I have this really weird loyalty to SP even with the pro 1.1 issues. May that ESC rest in peace wherever she ended up.

Ya the main site, where do we go for firmware updates ect ect... I have a reventon PRO 1.1 thats cogging, wanting to try fresh flash of current firmware to see if its retrievable before it gets tossed..

If speedpassion is not taking care of its website and support it worries me

There's a way to use the MuchMore Fleta software. http://site.petitrc.com/reglages/spe...eSoftware/eng/

For my Pro 1.1 nothing solved the cogging. I sent it to oblivion somewhere in Chicago....
