If you are talking about timing label timing your sweet spot could be at or near the old MAX timing limit of 45 degrees and not realize it. My VTA motor at 45 degrees timing by the Motorlyser, says ~33 degrees by the label. Sweet spot or not, it runs strong all the way through a 12 minute main (5000MAH battery).

PS ROBK announced he was revoking the 45 degree timing rule here in this thread about a month ago because of issues with the timing label. Not complaining or whining here; just stating facts.
