The tekin got very peaky when I added boost on the ESC, so I was running blinky on the ESC & max timing on the can. I gave the reventon similar settings as a base line for the first runs. The reventon is dramatically smoother than the tekin was. The ESC will comes off 60-70*c (140*-160*f) & the motor is consistently 110*-120* after a full pack (run to cut off). I am running the same gearing before & after (24/78). I am all ready as fast or faster than everyone else down the straight, so don't need any more speed or acceleration. What I'm looking for is efficiency (lower ESC temp, higher motor temp) & continued smoothness. If I back timing off the can & add it in the ESC will that accomplish what I'm looking for or should I change gearing 1st.
