I just recently bought a hardly used Reventon R from speed passion along with an 8.5 turn v3 motor.

I set it up properly (update program card, (after) plugging into PC, upload new ESC firmware from the group of functionality options, set proper settings [or at least interesting ones!], set up the system in the car, go try and bash) and it beat the smeg out of:

novak ballistic 8.5 motor
IP (intellect ) 6000mah 90 or 80c LiPo 2s Battery

rc10b4 with decent rear tyres (yep only need the tyres!)

SO, except for a little cogging due to the supplied sensor cable being too short to actually fit to the motor, I've had a good deal of increased performance and grunt from this setup. I love it. The fan may run like a loud cricket but the system as a whole does the car much more justice than:

Castle Mamba Max PRO esc (***)
8.5 spec Novak ballistic powerhouse (which had around 16 deg of timing advance)

I think either my MMP is non optimal or they're just not as focussed a hardware design as the Speed Passion Reventon R (70 Amps) sensored or sensorless electronc speed controller.

Since you've had yours for quite a while, any setup tips?
