To make ESC timing react the exact same way as motor can timing, you would have to set the ESC timing to all happen at once, at the very bottom of the RPM range.
There is an ideal point when each motor phase is fired in relation to the rotor position. This ideal moment changes as RPM increases, so dynamic ESC timing is more efficient than static timing.
If you set your ESC to apply all the timing at 0 RPM, as if it was static timing like it would be if it was set from the endbell, they should, in theory, perform the same, but only can timing is allowed for spec class racing.
