Adjusting the timing on the end of the motor just changes the ESC's reference point to where the rotor is at by moving the sensors in the end of the motor.
Hopefully that makes sense.
I'm pretty sure I understand that you're saying I was correct in my analysis, right?
Does it really matter whether the extra "performance" comes from the ESC or by adjusting the sensors in the motor via a physical turn of the pinion end of the motor?
