Until recently I was under the impression that high timing was ultimately a speed increase/added amp draw/higher temps, and low timing was of course the opposite. However, after reading through the forums recently I have read that various motor types run better on one timing than another. For example, feigaos run "better" on 0 degrees timing, neu motors run "better" on 10 degrees, etc.
Also I read how adjusting the punch control can somehow relate to how many poles the motor has.
So basically I'd just like the record set straight in regards to the settings of a mamba max and their relation to different motor types. Of course I don't necessarily expect the answer to be clear-cut. I hope I don't sound as silly as I feel.
Personally I'm running a 1512/2D on 4s/5ah/25c in a Losi 8 buggy. Thanks, guys.

"Best" setting is tough to determine -- so much depends on your setup and driving style.
People talk about different motors running on different timing -- but timing is usually a trade-off between power and heat. If your motor is getting hot, just bump down the timing a little. You will probably not notice much difference in power, but the heat on the motor will drop. For this reason, I usually recommend "low" timing for any setup.
You can think of "punch control" as a software wheely bar. Limits acceleration power. The best setting can usually by found by experimentation.
