motor timing?

[I.D.10.T]

How many degrees is each notch on a brushed motor can?

[Colgout]

about 6 deg

[EddieO]

Each notch in most endbells is 12 degrees.

Thank you both.

What is the benefit of advancing the timing, like a real car, gives it a little more punch and run more efficiently?

Pro: You get more top speed and power out.
Con: You get less torque and efficiency.
Conclusion: Not useful for crawling (unless it's dynamic as done by the MMP).

You should not go by the notches without knowing what each notch is. Go by temperatures and how fast you want it. Get a faster motor before you give too much timing

+1.

Keep in mind on a brushed motor, if you add a lot of timing for forward, you are running really retarded in reverse. For crawling, a little timing can be OK, but don't go too nuts.
Other types of RC almost never use reverse, so lots of timing is not as much of an issue.
