SP GT2 Pro vs New SP Reventon Pro

[Click]

Hi Lads,

Has anybody gone from the SP GT2 Pro to the SP R-Pro?

Any difference in drivability?

I know the new SP R-Pro has a new way of cooling + wireless connection ability to change/update settings etc. but is it any better on the track?

Any feedback appreciated

The r pro is alot smoother and every thing will run cooler and the software is being updated and tested as we speak. They are both very good esc's

thanks

Reading the spec for the Reveton Pro it can be programmed via an android phone, (using a sold seperatley module) presumably by Bluetooth , anybody have a cost or availibilty of these yet?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. When you say software is being updated and tested as we speak, I thought the R-Pro has already been released?

Less than a week ago? I doubt many have got hold of them yet.

What is a "hybrid boost"?

Speed Passion Launches The All New REVENTON PRO Brushless ESC
Industry Leading Innovative Brushless SystemThe world champion ESC is getting smaller and more refined to continue leading the R/C industry in ESC technology. Speed Passion is proud to present the all new REVENTON PRO - Professional level competition brushless ESC. Designed by Speed Passion’s engineers with new patented technology, the REVENTON PRO is the best choice for the top level competition ESC.

The (STOCK1) software uses Hybrid Boost Turbo technology, a great innovation for advanced boost (stock or modified) racing. This software is targeted for 4.5T to 10.5T modified motors (Hybrid Boost Turbo software for higher turn motors will be available soon). When the ESC applies maximum timing to a 10.5T motor, the motor will run at an incredible 110,000+ peak RPM, when powered by a 2 cell Li-po battery. These speeds are much closer to the speed of a MODIFIED motor using traditional static timing technology which will only produce around 30,000 RPM.
The new technology with higher performance will have some side effects. Higher performance also will also increase power consumption, increase motor temperatures, and lower the efficiency of the entire system. It is very important to set the programmable items of the ESC appropriately.

The REVENTON PRO ESC features an all new, in-house designed, 140A unit that out powers the competition in power delivery and smoothness. The unique INTERCOOLER design allows the REVENTON PRO ESC to run 20% cooler in temperature compared to previous models. The ESC keeps it’s cool even when pushed to the extreme in racing conditions ranging from full power boosted modified to no timing racing. The brand new ground up design features a full aluminum body case which provides maximum surface area to dissipate heat from the ESC. The full aluminum body construction combined with the INTERCOOLER design provides extreme power delivery to the motor with overall increased performance compared to previous models.The onboard switch unit along with built in LED light makes it easy to identify software profiles when they are installed. No more external wired switches means racers no longer need to worry about switch placement and finding room on today’s high performance racing chassis’.
