Which ESC do you have? Some are able to be updated and some you can only do a few tweaks with the programming card.

you have to goto speed passions website or if they included a cd, download their software to your pc. Then you plug your program box into the computer and you can load different software on it to put on your esc. You can download the different softwares from speed passions website.

Depends on what class, and in modified your preference, but for boosted stock I think 323 is the latest. It can make a stunning difference. There are threads in both the electric on road and off road forums, with rep support:

Speed Passion on road thread

Speed Passion off road thread

Take a look at the posted setups for various classes for a starting point:

A video for the updating process. You might need to update the LCD programming box first if it doesn’t seem to work. It used to be recommended to flash the ESC twice, not sure if this has been eliminated, won’t hurt. Redo the neutral-throttle-brake calibration to your radio after changing firmware. Then turn the throttle EPA up a little if using boost, to prevent any radio drift preventing boost engaging.

Welcome to the board, enjoy!

Oops, sorry about that. I fixed the link (I hope!), will need to select the video tab.

And another try:

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.
