ESC setup and gearing

[nitrostarter]

Punch control is how much of the power is restricted upon initial throttle. So when you hit the throttle, do you want all of your power? Then leave it at 0%. However, if you want it to ease into the throttle, add % and find a good spot. I had my MMM setup at 50%.

Timing setting: I would run Normal timing or 10 degrees. If your temps are a little high, try lowering the timing a bit.

I'm not sure of the other changeable setting on the RX8 since I don't own one. Others will chime in.

If you list them, I'm sure we could help.
