Maybe Mtroniks set 12 degrees timing from the factory, and this is why I felt a small loss in power when I set it to 0? Didn't know BK set such high timing by default.

16/66 is about 20:1 in 2nd gear? The tyres are stock (5.75 inch), the motor assuming the battery voltage doesn't drop too badly (gp3700's) will be turning ~40,000rpm, which ends up around 33mph? The gearing I'm on now is 37mph by the numbers. This isn't unreasonable? My friends emaxx with stock electronics on 7 cell gp3300 packs must be doing 30mph easy.

The emaxx is 95% stock so stock weight..not too sure exactly to be honest.
Torque > timing > RPM

Less timing more torque, less RPM; more timing higher RPM, less torque

Try 70-72 spur and you will be surprised. With 66 spur your motor doesn't reach its RPM, and I bet your batteries are getting hot as well.

P.S. Just in case http://www.hackerbrushless.com/cars/otd/emax_otd.shtml C50 has the same Kv as 8L
