How is that a lot of timing if the TX motors liked to be 1.5 to 2mm past the last + mark?

I was given a setup sheet and programmed esc but the issue is it is not ramping or boosting up. I thought it was a sensor wire thing so that has been changed several times to no luck. Then I swapped out the motor and same issue. For mod you only mess with settings in modify mode? Or do you adjust anything in stock mode as well? Both program box and esc are 4.1ver. Below is my setup.

Basic:
Running mode=Forward/brake
Battery=Lipo
Cutoff Voltage=Middle
Overheat=Off
Neutral range=6%

Modify mode:
Timing start=40%
Timing=0%
Timing Interval=+3
Turbo Delay=0.06
Turbo Timing=14%
Turbo Interval=+3
Drag Brake=10
Initial Brake=3%
Brake Freq=2k
Punch=3
PWN=32%

This is Hagbergs setup I was given by EA. So I don't know if I setup anything in Stock mode or if there is something else Im supposed to do. Any thoughts?

if you want some boost on the infield, you need to add value to the timing.
and add that value to the turbo equally.

ie: change timing to 10 and turbo timing to 24

With a 4.5 I should have been spinning the rubber off the tires on a bench test but its about the same speed as my 17.5 blinky.

Set the timing on the motor to 0 or +5, 1 tick above zero. Gear around 8.2-8.4 FDR. Use timing if there's some long shoots on the infield, if not don't.

Like I mentioned in my post a few days ago. Turbo Timing only functions when your throttle is recognized to be at 98%+, if not you'll never see it. Make sure the ESC is seeing 100% throttle.

Using just turbo timing is good for tighter infields and you just want some extra speed on the straight.

Im geared at 8.4 right now. Just bench test so far and know something isn't quite right. Headed to the track Saturday. Big track 100+ straight. Motor is at 0*
