That information is very incorrect. I hope someone didn't sell you on it.

A brushless esc such as the tekin will not advance the timing or add timing boost to a brushed 19 turn motor. The timing of a spec 19 turn motor is typically fixed. The speed control can do nothing to advance that fixed timing. A speed control acts like a high-frequency on/off switch on a brushed motor. It is possible to advance timing on a brushless motor because the esc controls a lot more of the motor function.

Save your money until you can buy a tekin motor/esc combo.
