Odd question for you Rick. I have two Sonic 17.5 motors. First one I bought has limited timing adjustment and runs awesome. I bought the V2 motor for the additional timing option. Problem with this motor is that it always smells like it's been overheated. Comes off the track between 140 and 160 but smells like it melted down. Runs good but not as quick as the other motor.

The stator can be changed by yourself but we do not offer them separately yet.

It is important to note that the latest version has a modified end plate with a repositioned pointer indicator. If you are running the same timing (indicator relative to the can screw) you are running too much timing. The new version should be set around 40-45 degrees.

I'm a little confused, the indicator 0-40 right to left, which end creates the most power 40 or 0?

Although the relationship isn't always linear, the general rules of thumb are as follows:
Low timing = higher torque, lower rpm
High timing = lower torque, higher rpm
Most motors have somewhere around 28-30* of mechanical timing built into the design when the indicator is at the 0 or 'big line' reference mark, with somewhere between 4-8* for each line after that.
I believe somewhere on this thread the new scale and indicator of these motors indicate ACTUAL timing (although I may be wrong).
Edit: Found It!! (emphasis added)

This might be a stupid questions guys...
but this is my first brushless motor with adjustable timing...
does each line on the can represent 10degrees of timing?

17.5 boost TC. I tried lots of fdr's, from 5.6 - 6.3 just wished it was a little more punchy. My last thought would be going to a torque rotor but its been cleared that it already comes with it. Looks like ill just drive the way it is.
