Littlegiant,
You may want to check your motor. 120A peak is pretty high. If you are geared for around 40mph on 4S it should be around 80 plus or minus depending on the motor combo. It could mean your motor is going bad and drawing too much current.

could be batteries too if they are having trouble holding voltage then the current spikes higher. I dont think higher timing is the answer though.
