Timing advance

Sure, but you also forget that there is a kv drop that needs to be calculated as well. So in the end it's only marginal increase when pushing for more timing. I personally only saw an increase in motor temp, when increasing my timing on my quality motors. I didn't notice any speed gains. On my cheapo motors I did see increase in speed.

The point about the new fireware is race with lower KV motors and keep the same topspeed. The extra timing only kicks in on the straight so you maintain the same top speed with a 1700kv then with a 1900kv motor, but in the technical sections, the 1700kv motor is easier to drive than a 1900kv motor.
This results in less heat, more efficiency and the same topspeed or even higher.
