Changing Settings

In order to change firmware settings, or switch between brushed and brushless operation, you need a USB Programmer (one is included that works with USB-C). Note that to program the ESCs or flash them you must connect the ESC to a battery for power. 
The screenshot below shows the settings page that you will see if you want to alter the settings.
An explanation of what these settings do can be found here. Note that the motor poles and KV values do not need to match your motor for this ESC to function, the defaults will work fine for most motors. Furthermore, I strongly recommend watching this video before messing with these settings. 

If you experience issues where your motor is not reaching full speed or spinning up correctly, especially for inrunners (which have a lot fewer poles) and higher KV motors, you will just need to change the pole and KV settings to more closely match your motor.
