He suggested it may help with temps and also improve run times (currently about 12-15 min on a 6000mah lipo) Im not racing hardcore just running on an outdoor med-loose dirt track.
I am using a Castle MMP ESC (RX8 going in for service).
I know runtime with a HD motor and a heavy truck is never going to be GREAT.
Question is, what timing should I be using for the PRO4 HD 4300?
i'm running the mmp w/ the pro4 hd motor. i've got 0 or 4 degrees timing in the esc. running a 16 tooth pinion and temps are 150. small/ medium track. decent traction. running 6min mains no problem w/ a 6000mah battery. i think i have 20% punch control also in the esc. i know the hd doesn't like timing or wheel spin. heats up fast with either. hopefully that helps ya.
