Does this ESC upgrade software? I use the WiFi card to set the 7.2V, but it's not always set

Finally tested it in competition, like it very much and going to replace my former X-CAR 120A (HW compatible). Didn't actually try boost and turbo since it was clay track. POSITIVE: 1) reliable design of fan mounting. 2) Rich setup for boost and turbo 3) rotation reverse setup (available only from PC) 4) two BEC voltage 6v & 7.4v . NEGATIVE (not important for me): 1) rotation changes to reverse if you change some parameter from programming card. You have to run PC to set rotation back to normal. 2) First attempts to run had blinking pink at the beginning instead of steady blue. After some runs\setups (both PC & card) it become correct steady blue, don't know how. 3) Software font and text color on Win7 is weird and difficult to use and match with descriptions. Need some time to become familiar.
Resume - PC software & firmware have inconvenient bugs to be fixed

To start with my conclusion after one day of practice : Wow !
This X-CAR BEAST Series is a step up from the old X-Car ESC's.
As i already knew that my Speed Passion Reventon Pro (SPRP)was a better ESC in Blinky 17.5T i did not realy have to test this so i started the practice with the SPRP in my car (TRF 419). And i was really happy with the handling and the times i was driving. Then i switch to the BEAST and .... Wow. There was even more punch coming out of the corners then with the SPRP and i had to lower the punch rate for the throttle to not have wheel spin and over or under shoot my next corner. After this adjustment i had my fastest laps of the day and was easy to drive consistent fast laps. Next week i will put in in my Modified car and ?
Only 2 small Cons : Small and noisy fan. A and C connections on the ESC reversed. ( Cables cross on motor )
