I am having problem setup hybrid boost on my PC, I don't have any motor turns option under the hybrid boost page, I can't input any number of turns in the "Motor Turns" column. I can change or update the firmware but not hybrid boost option, am I missing something or did something wrong? any idea?

just wanted to give you guys an update, after so many times remove and install, i finally get it working, I use the older Ver. PC software V1.1.0.23.5 and firmware STO1 V21-0B9E, then all the motor turns option available.
I don't see any other benefit besides quick motor changes. Any additional connection in a circuit adds resistance and reduced efficientcy. I don't use plugs or connectors personally.
Question for the speed passion Guru's
I have a Reventon R Esc and a MMM 17.5 combo in my durango Dex210 and it has done alot of race meet's.
On 3 separate occasions at about the 4 min mark in the race, the motor acts like its gone sensor-less, as in low throttle control is missing and when I stop and slowly takes off it cogs badly.
Now the 1st time I just turned the ESC off then on and it resolved it the other two times irrelevant of what I tried it would still cog.
I would go out and marshal the next race(6 min) and when I come back to my pit area to check it the car works normal.
Things I have replaced:
New sensor cable
New timing board (from red to a green)
New Rx
Checked motor ohm's measurement across winding's is even. 2-3 Ohm
Checked solder connection on ESC
So my logical conclusion is its the ESC and when it gets hot. The thing is after races its 40-50deg on a temp gun, and I have tried with a Fan and no fan.
Other possibility is the Capacitor is faulty.
Its really random as its only happened 3 times over 8 race meets.
and yesterday it did it once out of 5 races.
LED status remains the same but I run Blinky (Stock 0)also
Maybe its sensor circuit on the actual ESC. Any further diagnostics I could do and ideas would be great.
Thanks ahead of time.

Will the blinky setting have the option to switch to FWD/Brake/reverse? This would be great for club level and it seems strange why it's not available as a setting already. This is making guys I know not even consider the Reventon esc's as the Hobbywings / Fletas etc all allow this option to be used.

Please try reinstall the V25 again....its fixed. I tested it. And the within STOCK1 is version 22, which is used by Viktor Wlick at ETS round 3 and he is using it at the REEDY RACE this weekend.

Both would work well for each application. If you can afford it then why not go R for both. It has a higher amp rating and if you don't use turbo you can use a lower motor turn than 7.5.

Thanks for the answer. Would the 7.5t V3.0 motor be a good replacement for a very tired
Novak motor in 4wd buggy ? Special rotor needed for offroad ?Is the capacitor included ? Sorry about all the questions
