All Castle Creations speed controllers provide dynamic timing advance. This means the advance setting changes with speed and load on the motor to maximize the efficiency of the motor as all speeds. Changing the timing advance setting lowers or raises the range in which timing advance moves. The advance settings actually overlap quite a bit.

Generally, outrunner motors work best with high timing advance. However, one of the motor characteristics CC ESCS compensate for is motor inductance. The high inductance of outrunners pulls timing advance up. This means that for most medium to small outrunners 'Standard' timing advance works well. With these the only reason to lower timing is if the motor is running too hot or if it starts making noise above half throttle. The noise means the ESC is loosing sync with the motor.

With larger outrunners we recommend 'Low' timing advance. The larger the outrunner the higher its inductance. These larger motors inductance pulls our ‘Low’ timing advance up to the higher timing advance these motors want without having the advance get so high that the ESC can no longer sync the motor.
