Motor/ESC Timing Info?
Could someone point me to a site or thread that covers the concept of setting the motor/esc timing for electric motors? I tried a search on this forum using the search function at the top, but it returned no hits. Thanks. CC

Check Castle Creations. In general lower timing increases duration, higher timing(advanced) increases power; in-runners generally have lower pole counts than out-runners and require less advance.

Thanks, Walt. The only info I found on the Castle site was under the general use manual for the Phoenix line of controllers, and it basically mirrored what you said. I was hoping to find something a bit more in depth and theoretically informative in regards to settings vs applications. CC

Try the Ampeer article archives at http://homepage.mac.com/kmyersefo
The Ampeer has been around a long time and is a treasure trove of info. I saw/read something about timing recently as soon as my rememberer catches up with my recall I'll let you know.
