That is all a LCD is, a usb link from the esc to the computer.
The BH USB flash lets you hook the ESC to the computer and load firmware and change settings. The HW program box only lets you change settings. Not firmware. That is my understanding.

ok, I do have a question though. What does the turbo level mean? 1-7? Same with timing, I think its like 1-7 also. I was expecting degrees. I just want to understand them a little better so i can make adjustments between heats and not fry something.

44mm is obviously the length, but 37mm and 30mm I have no idea what is width and what is height.

Height is 30mm. width is 37.
Is it okay to run these units without a fan?

I will be trying it this weekend in my B4. If your running a truck, no reason to not leave it on. I will be closely monitors temps on mine. I suggest you start very safe on the timing and turbo and slowly increase settings. I did some street testing and the esc was around 100%, keep in mine I am in Arizona. Its hot here. And the motor was 115ish. Up above you will notice the program and settings I used. If your on a blue groove, you might want to start even lighter than I am.

Wow........ I was playing with the settings tonight, because I was bored. I lowered the punch and the rpm start a little. I had a 30c pack that had 8-10 minutes of run time on it. I put the car down, hit the throttle and it popped a wheelie and took off. I was just standing there with my mouth open. I have never ever, ever in 20 years popped a wheelie. Not that i have ever tried. But this new generation of brushless esc's and motors just amaze me. The tuneability is just awesome. Not only do we tune the cars, but this whole thing with motor tuning is crazy. Anyway, this BH 120 with a 10.5 can really deliver power I was not expecting and my settings are kinda low. Just crazy I say.

Plug your esc into the LCD, plug the LCD into a usb port on your PC or laptop open the software and go!

Have HW, SP and now BH program loaded, other than name on main screen I can't see any diff.

The HW and SP are a VERY fancy Castle Link "like" esc to computer link!!!

Why do you have to use the HW LCD to program? I just use the USB/Flash programer to pc. If you have a BH esc than you got one with it.
