To get this to work all I did was to right click the speed passion application icon in C:\program files\speed passion v1.32 and go to compatibility tab and select run in compatibility mode for win xp and also check the box to run as administrator. All the new softwares are then available to view in the speed passion installer

Thanks mutley001.

This is what got it to work in the end, run as administrator. I didn't have to run for win xp though.

kriiiss, 2.1GT Prostock Limit is 9.5T for 2S, because it carry Stock Software
but if you are using Mod Software, it equal to no limit ex: 2.5T for 2S
Like Shawn say it is the Pro ones, not the Lpf.

nothing, when you open the speedpassion file, in the window that opens, click devices, then you will see, esc, lcd and motor checker ? click on lcd, then you can upgrade or change to then different softwares.

you'll see the little green lite flash in the lower left corner while upgrading in happening then a pop up window will tell you update complete

hope this helps

That's really weird, I had massive drag brakes when it was originally set to 10%, just wanted to try it out but didn't like it so set it back to 0% and the massive drag brakes went away.

try recalibrating radio and also someone has suggested rolling back the firmware and then reload new firmware.

razzor have you upgrade your LCD program box to the newest firmware v1.03_070904 or you still use the v1.02? I still use the v1.02.Could this cause this issue with the drag brakes?
