super helpful but questions remain. I recently built a 1/8 buggy with an HW Xerun XR8 Plus and 4268SD motor. I saw settings in the setup for Boost and Turbo but didn't enable them leaving that for a later date. So now I am interested and I looked them up in the manual

Three settings come into play:
Mode: Hybrid or Full Sensored
Boost: 0-15 degrees
Turbo: 0-15 degrees

But, per the ESC manual Boost is only active in Hybrid mode and Turbo is only active in Full Sensored mode.
So you can either have Hybrid mode with Boost or Full-sensored mode with Turbo.

Which is better? What are the pros and cons? How would one choose?
