No it will not work with Mac based computers unless you are running windows in Parallel or boot camp.

For speedo settings I never change from this for spec.

PWM 4k
Punch 10
BPWM 2K
Initial brake 10
drag brake 5

thanks for the info what would be a good staring point on gearing in a T4

For the TX 17.5 about 2mm timing past the plus sign and 3.85 to start on a medium-medium/large track.

I saw this option after upgrading my vx1 to the newer version. Does this work on the vx1 too?

Make sure the software versions are compatible. Your programming box might have an older version of firmware and it's not loading up properly.

What ESC are you using? VX3?

More than likely you'll need the newest firmware for the program box. (Ver 4.2 140823A ( Support Ver 4.1 VX,VXX,VX1,VX3 ) New!!)

I think that is the only way it works tbh. I've never got the programming port to work.
