The track I'm running is a small track with many sharp corners and therefore the acceleration speed exiting from the corners will be a critical factor to me. Since you suggested tuning the motor to +2.5 (anti-clockwise) based on the assumption of a medium track. Am I right to assume that I should have a slightly higher FDR and tune the motor's timing to +3 since my local track is smaller with many corners? Please advise and thank you.
Yes the motor is designed to ROAR specs but was never approved.

3.6 is a good starting point and play with timing to get where you need for now. Going to 3.7 or 3.8 will make the chassis too snappy unless you know you have great traction.
Over revving will not help, so try 3.6 and use the torque available first.

Always a starting from what we have experienced here.

Cheers.
