Before I changed the brakes, drums, and magnets, I used the B3 boost setting on the Prodigy P3, and my hubs never got hot. I knew was settings were high, which was one reason I wanted to change everything -- I figured there was little braking reserve, which is a problem not only when towing but also in a break-away situation.

But my understanding is that the boost setting just refers to the initial output voltage, i.e. the voltage as soon as you step on the brake pedal. Voltage increases as you decelerate. No boost starts at 0 volts, B1 starts at 13% of output voltage, B2 at 25% of output voltage, etc.

My output voltage was previously set at the max -- 12+ volts. Plus the B3 boost. And again, my hubs never got hot with those settings until I changed all that stuff.
