Hi

I just wanted to what are the differences between a reventon pro esc (costing around £84) and reventon pro v1.1 ( costing around £135) ?

The only physical difference I can see is the v1.1 comes with a fan but that can not warrant £45+ price tag just for a fan.

I am just curious about this.

Also does the reventon pro run cooler then the SP gt.2?

The reventon pro has a fan too.
And the reventon does seem to run a little cooler than the gt2.0. I've only got a handful of runs on the reventon, so couldn't tell you by how much!

Are people having problems running the Reventon Pro esc's in 4wd.....as in running too hot and thermalling ???

cheers

I've got the Reventon Pro, and another guy at my club has one also.

Nice throttle response, but I can't get mine to reverse (the lcd programmer won't change that option), I could flash it, but the other guy at my club has intermittent brakes, so I don't fancy taking that risk. (The motor I got bundled with mine also lasted just 2 races before the rotor detached).

Anyway, I'll be getting a 120amp hobbywing Xerun next, my 60a versions were awesome, but I needed more power for my 6.5 LRP motor, so got the 140 amp reventon as it seemed pretty cheap!

I tried this and it was over heating seriously yet I had no boost in with boost It was like a volcano and just gave up on me having said all that hobbywing is really good though I heard

run the older reventon pro and i am happy cool and powerful
never gets hot and i run 17.5t blinky tc and 13.5t boosted tc
very quike esc to race with but do turn off lipo cut off and heat protection as these will mess you racing up and if your a real racer you always check temps and never run your lipos to flat

(all esc have bugs nosram/lrp sensor boards on the old one and now have stuttering in blinky classes , gm stalling onthe line if you mess the setup to much , hobbywing also suffer with lipo cut off and heat proection , tekin work wanders but can blow a fet little quicker if unlucky)
