Speed Passion GT2 timing advance questions

[Chris Elworthy]

I use the Speed Passion GT2.0 LPF speedo in my 2wd and have been running the car on maximum timing advance (level 8, 26.25 degree) for a while now. The car is very aggressive on acceleration, could the timing be causing this or is this only really effected by the punch setting? Don't get me wrong I'm getting around quickly but I am finding consistency difficult.

Would reducing the timing make the car smoother under acceleration and increase the dead band around the stick? I do feel that the max timing does allow me to keep pace on the straights with the cars with turbo so would using a lower timing value make the car feel slow?

Any help would be great.

Chris,

What class are you running? offroad or onroad? What car and motor?

In any case it is rare that people run full max timing on the ESC and motor. It causes a lot more heat over the course of a race. DRRS setting can be lowered if you feel "punch" is too aggressive.
