Yes it would. I have a couple of both and prefer the RS.

Same here and I like it. I haven't come close to overheating the motor or ESC and still have the performance I like.

0 on motor is most likely 12-15 degrees. When we say 0 on motor, thats +12 to Randy. Its been discussed already over and over.

Try it and find out if it works. All in all I am amazed that with the options this speedy has all you guys want to do is throw timing at it! Why not run lower timing settings for motor and boost and have more initial grunt out of the corner? You still have turbo for straight line speed. From my exp too much timing just makes your motor soft so less in the infield should be better (gearing down is not always going to bring back power as the motor then needs to spool up even faster for the same amount of grunt).

Its amusing that all the talk here is about who is fastest at the end of the straights when the only thing that matters in racing is speed over a lap and subsequently the race. Faster is not always fast. Try it and find out for yourself.

Totally agree dude. It's like the golf saying.."Drive for show, putt for doe." Just smile and nod.

That is pretty much the correct and best way to setup the rs esc. I usually get the car dialed in without any turbo at first. Once lap times are lowest possible, which is usually almost as fast as the rest of the field, I'll switch on turbo at MAX settings.

My RCGT or 17.5TC setups were on a track that has one of the longest straights out here. Speedworld Raceway was the host of the Reedy Race of Champions. The track has a 165' straigt away with a sweeper proceeding it that could be helf WOT. So you could add that up along with the straight and end up with 200' easy.

I agree with you guys though that often times timing is not the answer. The turbo feature does mean though that for the infield I'm timed out at say 30 degrees...on the straight I can get up to 50.

You can time a motor quite high for maximum rev's BUT if you do this at the wrong time or while the car is still under a large load it's very bad.

My motor is actually at 10 degrees(forget early read). Personally I like a bit of motor timing for the instant snap out of the hole. I gave up nothing to anyone on the track in the infield. This track was just big.

If I were to run on a track that had say a 100' straight away the first thing I'd change is my timing boost, it would come down.

I gear/time for laptimes. At that Speedworld Cup I regularly pulled my Redline 17.5 off the track at 6 minutes at 185. I had no heatsink and no fan blowing on the motor.
