I'm using a Copperhead ESC with a HW 4000kv 4 pole. I've measured with my GPS that there is no increase in speed when the timing on the ESC is increased. Are there compatibility issues between the Copperhead ESC, and HW motors? Every other programable item is able to be changed, except timing. I use the viper programming card to change all my parameters.
Not any that have ever been noted before. Maybe that is as fast as the motor goes? I have read stories that GPS isn't always the most accurate way to record speed on an r/c car. Setting will make a small effect. Gearing would be bigger. Motor and battery performance would be bigger. Boosted settings through a sensored unit would have a larger effect than they will on a Sensorless unit as well.
