My confusion is the ESC reads CBA from left to right. So I assume the intention of the setting is to swap A and C soldered to the motor. Not necessarily the order displayed on the case. Am I understanding correctly?

Also, when do I need to change this setting? Is it before soldering the motor connection? When does damage occur if incorrectly set? Is it only if throttle is applied?
The ABC setting means connect A on the ESC to A on the motor. Use CBA when you want to connect C on the ESC to A on the motor for neater wire installs.
