How do you guys change the timing of your revtech xfactor? seems like I cannot turn the timing up or down because I cannot lock it down in place due to the ridge design of the timing plate.

I pulled the end bell off and the black ring that it screws to then lightly buffed the ring edges so it turns freely in housing.

Mine at 53 deg loses its top end.... went back to 49-51 degrees and the torque is back. My sensor board across A,B,C has zero variance.

Mine is the team spec version $114 one (upgraded to ceramic bearings)

Just wondering if it makes a lot of difference if I replace the stock rotor with the certified rotor.... has anybody done this?

What amps is your pulling at 51 degrees? Glad the tip worked for you!
