Thank you, that's what I thought. I wasnt sure if the ESC electronically corrected it. Good info to know So with that said, I know most motors are timed up, even at the zero mark. So if I am running reverse, then it is actually retarded...so to make the mechanical timing effect on the motor as little as possible, I should set the endbell timing to the Retarded side...(CW) which would now be advancing it since it is counter-rotating.
