Took a brek from R/C, came back and wow.. Playing around with my Tekin RS and its pretty groovy. microcontroller - controlled dynamic timing? sure why not.

As an embedded systems guy I am this >< close to writing my own firmware for this thing. I.. have some ideas.

One of them is this- Would it make sense to retard the timing somewhat (maybe back to 0-10 range) and spike the duty cycle at the low end for a large punch of torque in the sub 1000-rpm range? Seems like this would give some serious corner-punch.
