You said this. I'm directly replying to this statement. And I disagree with it. I don't want anything from you, except for you to realise I'm telling you that I disagree with this method. Some motors will not stay under this thermal time constant when set to 6A. They will overheat.
im not struggling. I’m confident in the structure of my sentence and the concept it conveys. Is there a reason I should care more about your comment other than what I stated?

@ rcgod. makes perfect sense. you started with a higher timing that created a wider power curve. you lowered the timing and got more peak torque.

the reason someone would want higher peak torque over wider power is for a track that requires more acceleration and deceleration. If someone was interested in doing something similar to you they could run 10 short laps on an oval (just cones) and advance or retard the timing. the quickest time for all 10 laps will come from the timing that is best for acceleration and deceleration.
