As for settings I will only even run the Graupner (Not GM) motor on the same settings as a Corally it is such a unique motor that setting can't be used in the same way as you do in 13.5
I will update my website later this week with my HW set up from Colchester for both the Corally and the D3 before it went bang! just remember to temp it is the golden rule!!

Hi You will never get it as quick as the Graupners or Corally due to the difference in design of the motors however I don't think you are far off the mark, you may want to increase your start RPM up to 5000-6000 could possible lower your ACC to make it punchier but what the temps I run my hobbywing motor on 150

I understand that a MAXIMUM cap was meant to prevent overtiming the motors but if that's the case why are the Tekins designed to advance up to almost 80 degrees of timing?
Also all motors have different built in timings so how does this come into play? The XERUNs in particular have fixed endbells so they are in a sense a little more particular about getting the exact right settings on the esc.
Don't get me wrong...I am not trying to be greedy or difficult...I mean if the mechanical limit to how much timing advance each motor can take is just 64 steps then I will of course accept this reasoning.
Just trying to improve my knowledge of motors. Thanks.

In this case how will we know if we are overtiming a motor even after we know the built in timing of the motor (since the values in the ESCs are not true degrees).

You'll know your overtiming as the motor will stutter and won't work...
Simply put, 60° of real timing is about the limit any motor will sustain. End of.
If anyone states their putting 80° in they are talking crap, as the motor would be going backwards...
Don't believe me? Take an old brushed motor that you can adjust timing on, and whilst running it on a few volts, rotate the endbell and see what happens when you get to 90°. The motor will start to stutter and become effectively confused as to it's position.
The same thing happens in brushless motors when running high motor timing advance coupled with high esc timing levels. The sensors will struggle to find the correct position of the rotor, making it stutter, or in the worse case, go backwards! Oh, and all that adds heat!
As most motors tend to need a bit of advance to run smoothly, (Around 20-30° for most motors, although I believe the X12's have nearer 40° built in), adding more than 30° of added timing brings them into the realms of diminishing returns... eventually to the point of just adding heat for less power.
Having said that, I haven't got into the fact that the timing naturally retards as you rev up a motor though, so adding timing does help...and why boosted profiles are more efficent than blinky. But, at the end of the day it's all a balancing act for best performance.

So does it follow that if your motor has 30degrees then there is no point in adding more than another 25 to 30 degrees of timing on the esc and thats why 518 runs better than 211 with all its timing added?

Been off racing for past three months..
Need help setting my Xtreme stock esc with New 11.5R hobbywing Sensored Blue motor.. (used on Xray T3)
What firmware should i used and what firmware setting for use on technical short track layout? also what FDR?
Thanks

What are you racing on, carpet or tarmac?

Mark don't do it!! I tried the D3 21.5 in the lads car at the weekend and it went bang again after 2 runs. Trying to get them as fast as a Corally just can't happen thats the second one this year, and it was running in the 75 degree range.
As for settings I will only even run the Graupner (Not GM) motor on the same settings as a Corally it is such a unique motor that setting can't be used in the same way as you do in 13.5
I will update my website later this week with my HW set up from Colchester for both the Corally and the D3 before it went bang! just remember to temp it is the golden rule!!

the week after the stcc i ran my dads car with (21.5) both hw and corraly motors and i got within a second from the time set on the stcc meeting using the corraly but with the h/w i was bout 5 seconds slower and the motor got hot 105c i think.
