Got a good start point for me ( ran outdoors on a big track with no problems pulling alot more gear than this)

I say stay away from motor timing. Although it is a cool idea, Brushless motors and brushed motors respond totally different with motor timing. Keep the timing on the motor Stock, what ever that is, and let the ESC do all the work. You will have less heating issues if you keep the motor stock timing.
