But most 17.5's (especially the D4) love timing 45-55, even 60* and if you run under 5.4 then you really have to watch your temps. Also be careful to pay attention to available torque for jumps.
Does this mean that there should be little temperature change going from 30* to 45 or 55*? I am around 5.5 fdr on my b5m but my temps are in the 140* range after a full battery run time (3500mah 2s SMC) with the default timing.
