cant say if teh software is exactly the same but the version numbers on some of the Hobbywing software is the same as in the SP software.
I have SP and Hobbywing esc's and have been told supposedly there is a hardware difference but havent expereinced any difference between them.
Still running the Hobbywing software to gauge a difference compared to the SP versions.
Seems the SP software versions is what is preferred by the factory drivers.
