A few people have tried timing advance ESCs, but the effect seems to be less with these motors than with faster ones.

13.5 BL is massively faster than 27T BR, and any club running these together is being unfair on newbies and those on a budget.
+1 If you want low cost as your first priority, go back to BR motors.

Just be clear that making a level playing field for stock is impossible, but that lowering cost and keeping things simple to attract and retain beginners is entirely possible, as Dale and the Bedworth Club have shown. HTH
