Hi all, The whole timing thing is new to me as I am just getting back into this after a time away from it and I ran nitro then. When you change the timing on your motor do you also need to change it in the ESC? What effects would it have if you only changed one or changed both? thank you for any and all help.

Change only one. More motor timing creates more heat so by doing it to the ESC will be more efficient. Try to keep most of it in the ESC.

thank you, so the higher the number in motor timing equals faster? and probably more amp draw? I have never used a sensored motor before so just leave the motor at "0" and change the ESC?

More timing equals more speed and amp draw. You could probably start with 15-20* in the motor and add to the ESC and go from there. Run a minute or two and check motor temp.

Thank you, I will do that.

I would ask the fast guys at your track what amp draw they are running. Thats usually then a safe starting point. From there you can tune based on temp. I usually stay away from timing via the ESC. In my experience it tends to add heat to the ESC, more dangerous heat than adding a little more timing on the motor and gearing properly
