Let me put it another way - I don't know any top twenty racer who uses this method. If it was any good they would all use it. It only seems to be used by a handful of mid-field runners who think that a setting in a no load situation is valid for a race situation where scores of amps are drawn under load.
Sorry, but this has yet to convince anyone who knows about motors and racing that it has a place in the real world of racing an RC car.

To get the zip out of corners is made by many actions, the more timing and therefore amp draw the less torque, setting around 6 amps tends to give the best of both, then getting the gearing right for acceleration and top end without over heating the motor will give the times that are competitive
You say you don't know of any top 20 driver who uses this method are you talking about top 20 17.5 blinky Touring car drivers i.e. those in the current top twenty of the BRCA Clubmans?
