Hi can somebody educate me regarding "Motor Timing" I want to purchase a sensored brushless motor, but in any answerd i've got they always say "adjust the motor timing"
How can i do that?
any suggestion site with step by step procedure you can link?

loosen the 3 screws at the endbell and twist the end cap. to the left is advancing the timing, to the right is retarding the timing. use a timing jig to determin how many degrees to the left or right you're adjusting the timing

What will be the reaction of my motor if i increase the "advancing" timing?
same as changing the degree to "retarding" what will be the effect?

The more timing you have the more RPM's you will have and the opposite when turning the timing down. Be aware if you advance the timing on your motor it will get hotter faster.

With that said, advancing the timing isn't always needed. It is a tuning option that can be used, but if you don't really know how to take advantage of it you don't need to use it. There are other ways to go faster.

What is the natural/ok temp of a motor after running for brush and brushless?

Brushless after a 5 minute run should be about 160-175 degrees F according to novak

Thanks for all the answerd
I just wondering whether to get a brushed 19t motor or brushless 10.5 motor
thats the reason im gathering info before to jump to another boat.

IMHO Brushless because;
1) levels the playing field far more wiht these motors as tuning yields very minimal differences as compared to brushed.
2) far less maintenance
3) no fade as motor gets warmer
4) not sure how many more runs per motor but I think it is likely 2-3x (or more)the number of runs out of properly maintained brushed.
5)the move away from brushed is happneing very fast making much of the brushed stuff worthless in resale.

Also longer runtimes so your batt wont fade as much by the end of the run
