Big Rock Understanding motor timing adjustments

[basher27]

I just put a Firma 130 amp ESC in my big rock and on the program menu there is adjustments for motor timing. Can someone explain the benefits in adjusting the timing or is it something that should be just left alone? I am running the stock 3200 KV motor. Thank you

Advanced timing will produce more power at higher rpm, retarding timing will produce more power at lower rpm

Is 15 degrees stock on the BR?

I'd suggest doing your research before getting too deep into adjusting timing, especially if you're just bashing. If you go too far in either direction, you will seriously shorten the lifespan of your motor, and the gains you get aren't massive. If you're racing competitively, it can give you an edge, if it's not banned by rule, but for general use, there are far better ways to achieve a bit more speed. YouTube is a great source for this, there are several videos that go into deep detail and show how minimal average gains are.

This guy does alot of rc videos. Wye vs delta is another good one he does

From what I've read and seen explained timing up to 18deg is okay on most 1/10 scale rigs. Stock is 15 degrees, I believe. Unless your doing speed runs only, its not really necessary.

Is there any advantage in lowering your degree level?

Yea more low end torque.. cooler temps

No more than 15 degrees before TDC or risk damage from detonation!
