Default Timing and heat

Hi. I have a tekin redline 21.5t brushless/sensored w/a ccmmp. Lipo 3s (thunderpower). rc4wd 2 speed trans. While trying to get this thing to run without cogging in high gear I programed the timing to 15 deg (High according to castlelink program). Needless to say, it was the sensor cable that was the problem. Third one I tried worked. Are there certain cables that are better than others?
As for the timing, I have run this rig in high gear wide open for 20 min. Checked the motor, virtually cold. Then crawled for the same amount of time and it was a lot of torque required crawling. Again, virtually no heat from the motor.
So, should I leave the timing high?? What would be the advantages/disadvantages to this.
Every time I think I'm getting a grip on this it turns out that are yet another dozen things I have to learn.
So, while we are at it, I cut the red wire on the throttle lead when I installed a bec. Now I have to reconnect the wire every time I want to use the castle link? Kind of a pain.
Thanks for any help.

If it runs cool you can leave it, shouldnt hurt anything if it is not overheating.
