Your motor has a sweet spot. Think of a bell curve in the middle of an x-y plot. Up the left is torque and across the bottom 0-30000 rpm. It converts current to torque the best right int he middle of the curve. So if the car spends most of its time or it averages in the middle of this curve the car will be most efficient. but you have gearing that makes a mess of things.
so you have to calculate the average speed and current required for a specific track with telemetry. Add up all the currents and speeds for a lap and divide by the number of samples and it will tell you your average speed requirement and current requirement. Then calculate the FDR you need to keep the motor average speed in the middle of the curve most of the time.
you can then set your throttle end point to control the max speed so that you dont creep into the bad side of the curve that generates too much heat.

It's simple. I'm cheating by not using the required equipment in a spec class but i don't want to be to obvious about it. how can I tone things down? decreasing the timing or changing gearing which I don't want to.

anyways, indeed great information gathered here and made me look at things differently, and I havent checked the temp but i have a good feeling im already pushing it with current timming setup on current gearing and I indeed have to test as advised to get proper temps FIRST then sync with other racers...

its simple indeed, i dont have the budget to change elect, im trying to make do with what i have laying around for the time being... we r just having fun and not racing for medals or anything... if there was a proper organized race id either have to get proper gear or not race... for meanwhile its just practice....

just because im a new comer they wanted an easy meal, they cant get over me running with them without proper tires, body or wing, and wanted to blame the electrics like porsche said ppl will complain using any excuses when your a threat to them...

Actualy i had already previously mentioned im at perfect speed with all in the straight (hence same top speed) i started this thread to see if at all possible to gain runtime without having cancelation occuring of higher gear and lower timming...
