More power is consumed at high timing settings than at low settings.
If you are looking for extended run times I would suggest starting at a low timing setting, change to medium if the motor starts to screech, stall or feel labouring. Another indicator for wrong timing is heat (wasted energy), reduce the timing.
A brushless can "backfire" if the timing is set too high, drop the timing or damage will ensue.
As a general rule, low kV - low timing, but not all ESC's are the same so it is best to test by experimenting. If it doesn't sound or feel "right" don't ignore it, change the timing.
Not enough time in the day for all my crazy ideas, I'm not slow, I'm just pacing myself
