Speed Passion timing

[S.A.W]

Hi,

On the SP motors you can adjust the timing on the end of the motor and you can also adjust it on the speedo, does setting it on the speedo cancel out anything that is set on the motor ? eg. If I set the timing on the speedo to 0deg and it's not at 0deg on the motor which will it be set at ?

Thanks.

Timing on the motor is always there same timing in the lower rpm as in the higher.

timing in the speedo is variable as with the rpm so the lower the rpm i think the lower the timing? and boost adds timing after a fixed time at full throttle

And reply to your Q it would be set to the motor's timing

Hi,

Can you explain it a bit more please, still new to this and don't quite understand the difference between the timing on the motor and the timing in the speedo ? I'm going to have a go at my local track using 17.5t and think I'm supposed to be using 0 timing, but is that 0 on the motor, speedo or both

Thanks.

The timing on the motor is always there ie its not variable or changed during the race.

I believe the speedpassion has variable timing so this timing changes during rpm. so more rpm = more timing but less torque to gain more speed out of a stock motor.
Less rpm = tess timing but more torque to gain quicker acceleration.

Is this clearer ?

I think the simple answer is that the timing you get will be the total of the motor + ESC timing (one doesn't override the other). ESC timing seems to be much more efficient than motor timing, so is preferable if you have it. Some useful info here from the likes of GM:
