advance will reduce the amp draw, increase runtime, reduce motor/battery temperature, and
may slightly reduce top speed and punch. Raising the timing advance will increase amp draw,
decrease runtime, increase motor/battery temperature, and may slightly increase top speed
and punch.
If you are after maximum top speed, it’s better to “gear up” to get it rather than advance the
timing too far.
Option 1: Lowest
A maximum eciency setting giving long runtimes and cooler motor temps. Very useful with
high Kv (low turn) motors to increase motor life and reduce motor/battery temperatures.
Option 2: Normal (Default)
The best mix of speed, punch, and eciency for all motors.
