Default RE: ESC Timing ?


ORIGINAL: Ricardo M.

I wanted to know how does the timing afect the performance of the motor? I am running a Hacker C50 13 XL competition with the Master 90-O-Acro competition ESC. The timing I use is 0°. What happened if I change the timing? What is the best timing for this motor? I am useing an APC 20x15, is there any relation between the timing and the propeller.

Thank you.
Ricardo.
I spoke to Rainer Hacker at the Euro Champs about the timing. He told me 2 degress, from 0 to 4 it is ok, in any case the motor is quite insensitive to the timing.

I have even seen one guy leave 24 degrees (from previous outrunner) and use it with the Hacker C50 14XL. It was running seemingly quite ok, he did not do any measurements. Then realized. Do not try this at home, though.

I use 2 degress, 3,1V cutoff, on the Jeti Spin 99. Hacker C50 14 XL, with 20x13 3-blade, Hyperion VX 5000s.
Absolutely no issues, plenty of power. Flying most of the time to the soft cutoff.
