Sure on blinky mode, then can timing is obviously helping, but I thought that in advanced timing modes, boost/turbo, etc, the can timing was disregarded. I'll try to find where I read this. It was possibly in an ESC manual.
It does make sense though that timing advance on my motor running reverse felt different. It was set to whatever the ready mach 2 is factory set to.
