I read somewhere that I should be setting this ESC to blinky mode and crank the timing. Then, start adding timing and boost and gear down as needed and watch my temps. Is that a good way to start with these things? I'm fairly new to brushless so any help is appreciated. I bought a second Reedy Sonic 21.5 for my FF03 running on blinky and it runs great with the stock settings.
First thing to know on the stock spec, stick to the even # boost profiles. The odd # ones are slow ramp, and that will make it feel very slow. I would go with 0/8/10/x on the esc, and turn the timing down on the motor to 30*. You shouldnt need a lot of motor timing in boosted, and you might find you could do with even less. You didnt mention what rollout you were at, but I would try gearing up from where you are 2 teeth or so
