Advantages of advancing timing from 0 to 26 degrees?
I've got a brushless ESC that allows timing advance up to 26 degrees from 0. What are the benefits to advancing the timing? What are the negative side effects?

Advancing timing gives you more power at the sacrifice of heat. Meaning the more advance the more power but the hotter the motor will run.

When you say more power do you mean stronger acceleration? Or higher top speed? Or both?

The way timing affects your Rc can be tricky.
The idea is that a low timing setting will give you the power at lower RPMs, and high timing will give you power at high RPMs. On some setups a high setting will make the bottom end acceleration feel soft and more driveable, while giving more top end power, all at the expense of heat. Then lower settings will give serious low speed grunt while higher RPMs will be weaker. Often, a motor will have so much torque that the higher timing setting will not feel any different at lower RPMs, but it will still increase the high RPM power.

I would like to make it look a bit more professional and would like to know is there any sites that you can use images from that won't infringe on copywrite. I'm looking for images of things like guitars, amps, mics, etc... or should I stick with what I've got myself and try and work on my own design.
