Yes when setting the timing I landed on ~43 degrees I believe which gave me 26,500 rpm with KV of 3724 pulling 5.3amps
I tested my Motiv MC5 17.5T and IIRC I was getting about 24K rpm with their factory set 47 degrees of timing which was showing slightly less timing on the analyzer. I will hook up the MC5 again today as it isn't installed in anything right now. I am running two TLRs with New Wave 17.5s now, which I do not have readings on.
EDIT: So the MC5 17.5 comes "factory set" at "47 degrees" which measured 43 degrees and produced 21,178 rpm and 2901 KV @4.3amps. I tweaked the timing to a measured 46 degrees (so +3 degrees) and got 21,480 rpm 2983 KV @ 5.1 amps..........I realize different analyzers and conditions etc but just some fun additional data points.
