Just received the AF motor to replace the Fusion. What is the recommended static timing setting? Can someone teach me how to set it dynamically?

Default Timing Atomic Force

Go to E-zone and do a search - it's been very well explained a number of times. I did it and didn't notice much differance between just timing it fwd and using a meter, except the amps go up a little so the batt and esc were slightly warmer (and 45 secs less runtime) and the motor was slightly cooler. I started at 12 degrees and ended up at 25 degrees. 95% of timed AF's land in the 20 - 25% range. Each tick is 5 degrees, and to advance it you look at the endbell and turn it CCW.

BTW I'm at sea level and using an 8 cell HRSC 2600 pack with 4x4 grips.

skyhawknut,
I adjusted the timing for minimum current. It occurs between the 4th and 5th mark from the left which would appear to be 20-25 deg. I am running it unloaded for an hour at 3V to let the brushes set in. Is minimum current point the ideal point?

I'm at sea level using Sanyo RC-2400.

Next I want to swap my 6/4 for 4/4 but I'm uncertain which way to go with the linkage. If it is out of track do I only have to adjust the linkage on the side that got changed?
