Need advice for LRP Vector 8 motor application

that is a 2 pole motor, so you need to max out the timing on the esc for it to run more efficiently, i used 5 degrees on the motor and max on the rx8(whatever that is) i was suprised it was slow and ran nuclear with the timing low and regular gearing, i boosted the timing and geared down and it ripped! and ran post nuclear lol
