I've used it a lot since purchase in Jan with a 13.5t motor and it was fine but recently put a 5.5t motor in and it won't allow full throttle - it does a kind of emergency stop 
With the car on a stand it does the same thing.. Fine until about 3/4 throttle then cuts then goes again. The orange light flashes too - suggesting esc temp.
This is with all protection turnd off.
Esc temps seem fine.. tested with 3 batteries.. no timing on ecu or motor... 13.5t runs fine  - can only guess it's not able to push the steady current required by the 5.5t motor..
I've tried all the different options through reventon software and think i have everything up to date..
I read through the instructions very carefully and discovered the "note 3" by the 5.5t rating. it says something about how they only test the motor limit under the following gconditions:
a) The input is a 6 cell Ni-xx battery; b) The ESC is equipped with a fan.
Any ideas??

Hi, I'm sure if you check on the website there was something about them changing the rating from 5.5 to 7.5. I reckon their first rating wasnt satisfactory.
I run mine In a 2wd buggy with 7.5 motor and have had no issues. Remember, it's only a 70amp speedo. If you want to run low wind motors you'll probably need to go to the pro version.
I would check the website first tho.
