If it is a 6 pole motor, should I run higher timing? Would that improve performance?
That rotor looks just like the one in my Extreme. They might use 2 magnets per pole. Funny thing you asked about timing. The 6S controller that I've been testing was acting up when I had low timing running the Aveox. When I went to mid timing the controller worked perfect. Now days I'm getting more and more confusing as some companies say to run low timing to keep temps down. I always go mid or 5 degrees of timing for 4 pole motors and high or 10+ degrees for 6 pole motors. My 60A controller burned when I changed timing on it when I was running the Mega ACn16/15/1. I had 15 degrees of timing and it was doing awesome, but I made a mistake and changed the timing instead of another setting and a couple of FETs went dead.
