Plus the smaller footprint of this esc will be good because theres not much room under the shell on the car. very tight space.

Any other feedback is good to hear, Im new to the brand.
It doesn’t have overall profiles in the sense that I think you asking about, rather several parameters that can be adjusted independently. Lots of adjustability for sure.

Yes, you can change software/firmware, you do need the optional LCD programmer:

The latest V1.35 firmware package is under the download tab:

Note there is a mod version of the boost software, and a no timing (aka blinky) version too in there.

Video on updating (it’s the last one):

Many load it twice just to be sure, there have been reports of it not updating correctly/completely on the first pass, although that issue may be fixed, I’m not sure.

Redo the ESC to radio calibration after changing software. And then after turn up the throttle EPA some, there have been cases of radio drift causing the supercharger deal to not engage, it needs full throttle to be completely open and held.

Some setups:
