    Impulse 31 New Setup - Do I need to change stock ESC Settings Before I run

    Hello,
    I could use some advice so I don't fry my brand new setup that I plan to run today. I have an Impulse 31 V3 and I just changed out the motor and ESC. Here is what I have and plan to run:
    Seaking 180A ESC
    Leapord 4074 1650kv
    OSE heavy duty flex cable with coupler
    Octura x440 prop (sharpened and balanced)

    2 3s 5200 packs 60C

    Would you recommend I change any of the ESC settings before I crank this up? I see some people are changing the timing based on the prop/motor.
    It looks like this is a "5D" motor whatever that means....

    I think you should be on the low range timing for D (7.5 and down) but wait for a more experienced in this matters to help you more and be 100% sure

      Thanks for responding. From what I have read, I think you're right, but wanted to confirm what I should set this at with this exact set up.

        D wind is 0 - 5 degrees, on the Seaking 180 set to 3.75 degrees.
