Just did some experimenting. Earlier I made the 4s pack, so now I have 4s, 6s, and 10s to use. But since one of the other wheels was stripped, I had to switch to some Road Rages, which are half an inch smaller in diameter than what I was using yesterday.

First was 4s on the original settings (highest start power, high timing). This was actually decent, fast enough to not be slow, and totally controllable. Only downside, this ESC doesn't like to react quickly to throttle positions below half throttle.

Then 4s with low timing. This had less cogging, but it seemed the motor didn't like it as much.

6s and low timing, I found a weird thing that I can make happen - if I'm at 1/4 throttle and grab WOT the truck makes the strangest sound I've ever heard from BL. It sounds like the motor is screaming! And it's not very high pitched, I guess it's sort of like a crow screaming.

6s and medium timing, this "crow screaming" was reduced, and cogging wasn't too bad.

4s and medium timing didn't result in the screaming crow, and there wasn't really any cogging.

Next, 10s with medium timing, and I had to use a receiver pack since the CCBEC can only take up to 6s Lipo. This made the truck EXPLOSIVE. Traction was a HUGE issue, and I don't think I exceeded 3/4 throttle on my street. I need a bigger space to open it up on 10s.
