Turnigy 120A marine esc fitted. What timing?

[jamespl]

Just put a turnigy 120A marine esc in my stiletto and what a nightmare to route the wires! So it's all in now but what timing should I use with the stock motor? Running stock prop at the mo but will be getting an x642 in a few weeks. Was thinking of just leaving it at 15deg.

i heard somewhere that around 10 degrees was optimal ...think the 120 has a 11 degrees but no prob....i am sure if i am wrong someone will correct it on her fast lol

I tried it today with the timing set to 15deg and the esc was hardly warm plus the ec5 connectors were cooler than with the stock esc. But the big thing for me was the throttle curve is much more progressive so there is no jumping out the water on takeoff. All in all I like it. Going to try an x642 prop now.
