There were a few other settings on the programmer that I didn't fully understand but I can't recall right now...

What is a safe operating temperature for the esc's? I temped mine on a couple of runs and it was around the 120 degree F mark.
drive frequency smooths out the feel. lower = more punchy higher = smoother. increasing the drive freq increases esc temp and can increase motor temps also.
