-This tab will be of high interest, for those who want to use **maneuvering **of every kind, because this option enables the CFW to be in mind in an altered firmware state.+You can choose between a base firmware "DRV126" or "DRV154 (beta)" at this moment. 
 + 
 +DRV126 provides a aggresive type of acceleration, thus also consumes more battery in a long run. 
 + 
 +The current "DRV154" which is in a beta state seems to provide better perfomance thanks to it's algorithm, whilst giving mild loss of overall battery consumption. 
 + 
 +"DRV154" also may comply more to patches than "DRV126" does. Useful, when you're experiencing minor problems with patches. 
 + 
 +Short: If you are looking to gain a bit more of overall perfomance, with mild loss of battery, then choose "DRV154", but keep in mind it's in beta at the moment. 
 + 
 +If you're looking for a more responsive base firmware in means of acceleration, then stick with the "DRV126", but also keep in mind, that it might drain more than "DRV154" does. 
 +

 In a event of Manuvering the state of the actual serial number will be changed temporarily between the selected one you've chosen, until you reboot it. Then it'll return to the original set serial number, that has been set by you. In a event of Manuvering the state of the actual serial number will be changed temporarily between the selected one you've chosen, until you reboot it.

 +
 +The battery will more likely drain faster, when driving at high speeds. This is due to the motor needing more power to hold these speeds.

 + 
 +In general, it's also advisable to stay as low as you can with the amperes, to ensure a good overall health of all components. 
 + 
 +For this, the rule from above can be applied, even for people for weigh under 100KG (220 lbs) f. 
 + 
 +//Generally it's recommendable to upgrade your motor phase cables connectors to more resilient ones.//

 + 
 +As for the current limit it's recommended to let the peak at a max. of 65A (max. ~1.8KW) or below it. 
 + 
 +Also here it's adviceable to maintain the current based on your weight and to your routes, as this can expand prolongevity of the components and also minimizes the battery draw. 
 + 
 +If it so happens that you're satisfied with 55A already, then you don't need to do more tweaking. But if it may seem much to you, then you can step down the Amperes bit by bit until you're satisfied with the results. 
 + 
 +Otherwise if you aren't satified with standard 55A you can rise up slowly until 65A.

 +Protip: If you weigh over 100 KG / 220 lbs it's adviseable to nerf the brake to avoid potential overload of the FETs or the Caps of the ESC. This is because due to your weight putting on more stress when braking and it auto. generates more counter current than it usually does.
