I did that. With the timing negative the motor spun ccw even though it was set on cw at low rpm but then switched to forward as throttle input increased. I have never run this esc on this truck. Tonight i will run it ccw (even though that vehicle reverse), timing back positive and see if it's the esc is just being very tame down low. It honestly seems to be the best running cw at the normal positive adjustment but that "can't" be right. Thanks guys more help would be appreciated. Thanks
