I have bought three over the years. They come with the sticker NOT attached so you can make them conform to the timing setups of your other motors. You know how some motors are already 30 degrees at the 0 mark? Well with this upgrade kit you can normalize all your motors to the same zero point, so the edge of the sticker all means the same thing.....

Personally, I prefer 0 to be 0, but if you need the other way around, well that is up to you....
Thanks, Jason, I didn't know about this.

Again I'll state that we should have an RPM (or kV) limit for brushless motors, just like there is for brushed. Maybe the TCS rules don't have it at the moment, but if we decide here on RCTech, and have several groups across the country adopt the rule, then maybe it would be a good example for TCS to follow.

I'll make the first suggestion: limit kV to 2400. That's a little slower than brushed, but more importantly, is pretty safe for most 21.5 motors.
