spybot Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just bought a Speed Passion Reventon Pro with Speed Passion Competition V3 5.5t motor. Struggling to get it to work can set neutral point, full throttle & full reverse points ok but when I switch it back on it lights up ok but will not power the motor. Removed all wires & then 're-soldered everything, changed receiver wire but still no go. Anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny boy Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Have you calibrated it? And do you turn it off straight after calibration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spybot Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yes I calibrated it. You hold the set-up button down for 2 secs when switching on, orange LED lights up, red led flashes & there's a continuous beep, You then press set-up button once - orange light flashes once & there's 1 beep to set neutral position, put throttle to full position press set-up button orange light flashes twice & 2 beeps, put throttle to full reverse press set-up button orange led flashes 3 times & 3 beeps, ESC then automatically switches off. Switch ESC on, red & orange leds light up to signify normal sensored operation,moving throttle has no effect on motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Sensor cable seated snug in the port? Correct wiring abc? Fully charged battery? Throttle channel zeroed during calibration with epa at 100% before calibration? All connections with clean soldering? Few things to check. Even try calibrating with the ch2 reversed.

Jimpston Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi, I have this combo in 13.5t flavour and the ESC seems to forget its calibration once in a while. Happened when I first set it up and then again twice last week right before races! Made me miss the start of one whilst I recalibrated it. I also found that you have to do the setup a couple of times before it actually turns the motor as it should (steering is working fine through all of this). Have you updated the ESC firmware at all?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilllad83 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Hmm interesting info, have my eye on one of these combos payday - pls keep us updated :-) Edited August 5, 2013 by lilllad83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spybot Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Finally got things sorted. Someone suggested reversing the throttle channel the trying again & this is what I thought I'd tried but stupidly I didn't look at the labels on my transmitters reversing switches just assumed the one under the throttle was for throttle & the one under steering was for steering - WRONG!!! Realized my mistake reversed the correct channel, re-calibrated ESC & hey presto worked 1st time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jleath2834 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Interesting thread. I have just fitted a SP 7.5t Reventon Pro to a DEX210 with the matching ESC. I have updated the firmware and calibrated the ESC. But I still have no drive to the motor. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spybot Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Have you reversed the throttle channel ( Channel 2)? If not do this then re-calibrate the ESC should work then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jleath2834 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi. I tied channel 2 and re calibrating the ESC. But still no joy. I think I might try the big hammer fix next. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richglanzav Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 i have a speed passion reventon S and a 13.5 motor combo, and i have a similar problem. its really weird actually as it doesent always happen. it sometimes runs fine then sometimes it will just randomly cut off all power. i switch it off and on again and its fine for a while. really annoying me and im considering fgoing with an orion or castle combo on my new buggy instead of swapping the speed passion one into it.

spybot Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I had a similar problem at one race meeting when I was makeing adjustments to the ESC & accidentally reset all parameters. Connect your programming box up & make sure that the 'Low Voltage Cut-Off Threshhold' & the 'Overheat Protection' setting are disabled this should cure the ESC cutting out. Hope this helps Rich.

X 800NER Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Heya guys few question I've got a speed passion reventon s with a 10.5t motor sometimes when running it it cuts power sometimes is this due to thermo cut out if so if I turn it off with it damage the esc. Also what low voltage cut of should I have it set as I'm using a nimh 7.2v battery 3300 mah which has 6 battery's all in one. So should it be set as 3.2v?. If you could help that would be great.
