INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

The value shown initially in the field is the ESC’s current value if the 
ESC is connected to the NovaLink 

Maximum Timing RPM 

Maximum Timing RPM is the motor RPM at which the full amount of 

Dynamic Timing Advancement starts application. This full amount of 
timing will be applied at all RPMs above this point. Dynamic Timing 

Advance is added in incremental steps between the Timing Set Point 
RPM and the Maximum Timing RPM. 
 

Values from 2,000 to 35,000 RPM can be entered in increments of 1 
RPM. 

 

In order to attain maximum timing advancement, this setting must 

be below the maximum RPM. 

 

The Maximum Timing RPM value should be at least 2,000 (1S) or 
4,000 (2S) RPM higher than the Timing Set Point. 

 

The value shown initially in the field is the ESC’s current value if the 
ESC is connected to the NovaLink 

 

Timing Level 

Timing Level is the maximum degree of Dynamic Timing Advance

TM 

applied to the motor. 
 

Increasing the setting will increase the maximum amount of 
electronic motor timing that is applied to the motor throughout the 

throttle band. Using a higher timing setting will result in more overall 
motor RPM, and more current and heating. 

 

Special attention to gearing must be applied when experimenting 
with timing changes. Start with a VERY small pinion size and check 

ESC and motor temperatures at multiple times throughout initial 
runs. 

 

Values from 0° (OFF) to 55° can be entered in increments of 1 

degree. 

 

WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN APPLYING DYNAMIC 
TIMING ADVANCE AS THIS MAY RESULT IN EXCESSIVE HEATING 
OF THE ESC AND/OR MOTOR AND CAUSE EXTREMELY HIGH 

SPEEDS THAT CAN RESULT IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE VEHICLE. 
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CHECK 

TEMPERATURE LEVELS AND NEVER START AT HIGH TIMING 
LEVELS. 

 

Timing RPM Defaults

 

There are several default settings available, based on motor turn and 

number of cells in the main battery pack. Selecting one of these 
defaults will enter the recommended starting RPM for both the 

Timing Set Point and the Maximum Timing Point. These values can 
be fine-tuned by entering custom RPM values in the text boxes. 

 

Selecting one of these default settings is optional.
