timing for the venom motor.

[cogwheel1]

I have a King of Shaves 34" brushless. Has anyone played with the timing? The factory doesnt even know what the stock timing is nor what it should be! They can't even tell me the specs on the motor. Anybody know?

[NitroVal]

I played with the timing in all directions and the factory default setting is the best for power/cooling to be in the safe range. I honestly wouldnt go higher in the timing due to the possibility of motor failure

[cogwheel1]

I may have inadvertently changed the factory timing, and venom can't tell me what it is.. What is it? 0?

[NitroVal]

IIRC, it is 7*. I'll double check when I get home tonite

The factory default timing is setting #4 11.25deg. advance. You can use that or setting #1 which is 0deg. but if youuse anything higher you have to watch temps and adjust accordingly.

Now what if your running say colder water such as say 45-50 degree temps shouldn't be an issue at running more advanced timing shouldn't be a problem.

[NitroVal]

I wouldnt touch the timing. These motors are tempermental enough, I would just leave it stock. Advancing the timing wont get you much anyways, maybe 1-2mph.

how do you get it back to factory timing?

[JonCBrand]

I just ran my EKOS with stock motors and 3S lipo in 55F water, after 5 mins at WOT, motors and esc were just above the water temp about 62F. That was at 0 timing, so Im going to go up to the 11.25 this weekend and see how it runs.

does anyone ekos form venom split on the side

ITS VERY EASY
GO TO VENOM SITE AND CLICK ON THE PICTURE OF THE EKOS
THEN CLICK DOCUMENTS
GO TO PAGE 5 AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS.
I SET MY TIMING TO - 0 ADDED 6 INLETS AND OUTLETS AND
AM HAVING NO ISSUES ON 4s,BUT,
(DO NOT RUN 4s ..... JUST BECAUSE IT WORKS FOR ME)
I'M NOT SAYING DON'T BUT IF YOU DO ITS ON YOU......
JUST HAVE FUN WHAT EVER YOU DO

how do you get it back to factory timing?

Your manual has a whole page on how to change the settings from the transmitter. Its not too difficult. You can download the manual from venoms website if you dont have it.

[scubasteve95]

THIS IS ALL OLD NEWS..
IT IS EASY FROM THE TX BUT MOST OF THE ESC's I BEEN SEEING
WANT YOU TO USE A PROGRAMMER JUST TO BE SAFE AND
SEEING IT ON A SCREEN FOR ME IS MUCH BETTER,FOR
10 BUCKS TO KNOW I GOT IT RIGHT...I'M OK WITH THAT
