Tekin RS ESC sensored

I see a lot of people have problems with the ballistic motors and I think it has to do with what novak says the timing is on them. The original batch of motors had a N mark on them that they say was 30* of timing and you can advance or retard from there and the newer motors have 30 in the middle and go up and down from there. When I was having issues with no low end power in my motor I was afraid to bump up the timing because of that information, but finally tried it after exhausting all other options. I advanced the motor timing by one mark (5*) and turned down the esc so I wouldn't have any issues and worked back up from there. Now my car has great rip and I haven't blown anything up. It's confusing how all the mfgs. lable their motors different, but I think with the ballistic motor you have to think of the center mark as 0* timing and work from there.

Same question to the Tekin Forum guys and i got this response from 20 Smoke "There is 15* (hidden)so the sensor can read but it is never added in,i would just go by the deg on the sticker.start with low timing boost and no turbo and go up"

I recently asked about the Novak timing and got this response.

It's the same answer but worded different. Tekin I think says it best though, it's an early sensor read that all motors have. A brushless motor will not run at true zero so they all have some timing in them. I believe this is why originally the ballistic motors had the N mark on them, but a bunch of people cried that they wanted the actual timing on there. Tekin motors already took that little extra into account already and just marked that spot as 0* so as not to confuse the issue. So like I said before treat it like it's 0* and work your setup from there.

Can someone give me a good baseline setup for the RS in 12th scale (AE12R5.1).
Planning on running a 13.5 novak velociti and the track is ashpalt and medium size.
There are two driver setups (Ken Miller & Yang Lai) on the Tekin website and to me they appear very different to each other. Any suggestions please.
Thanks
