It may be more worthwile doing timing advance if you running in cold weather as this would help with the cooling of the electrics
Not sure where you would have heard that from.

Timing advance gives more power and more rpm and at the expense of torque and heat.

In off-road modified there is no need to worry about timing advance. Just set the ESC to default settings (205g is still the recommended software for off-road modified from Speed Passion), and leave the V3 motor timing in the middle of the slot.

Then gear it and run it. If you need more power, run more motor.

You can do a few small tweaks to the programming (drag brake, punch, electronic timing) to make it feel better for you, but don't go crazy.

The "supercharger" software is only for stock class where people try and get the maximum out of a limited motor, but the downside is poor throttle feel and confusing adjustments.
