Also is the esc upgradeable and what all do I need to do so? Any tips or info. etc would be greatly appreciated... Thanks
In the future, you can always check out Speed Passion website for ESC setup. I will upload some SAII ESC setup this weekend and post it up there...
ESC is updatable, once we have the need for better software, we will release it to the public free of charge. But you do need the LCD Programmer box to connect the ESC to computer in order to do adjustment and future software/firmware update.
