Just go to the TP value on the ESC. LEDs 1-5 are preset and 6 and 7 are custom boost profiles. For the most part, all stock (10.5 and slower) motors run similar profiles. Boost starting around 3k and ramping to max around 30-40k. I usually run a boost value of 60-85%. Beyond your 2 custom profiles you only need the Hotwire to set the "feel" of your ESC. I'll be there on Saturday with my Hotwire if you'd like me to give you a hand.
Nah, thanks though. I just set my brakes up earlier so i dont need help

Hotire seems pretty useless if you can have the ESC manually programmed. I always thought you needed the hotwire for certain options but I guess not.
