Do I? I really have no idea.

From what read on diyelectriccar.com, 12 degrees seems to be the max for EV motors like Warp 9s and stuff like that. More advance has the same effect as field weakening, so less torque and higher speed. Finding the best amount of advance for any situation is trial and error.

I was very surprised at how much advance my motor has. But for now I think I will go with what it is and then test. If the arcing is too much I will have to advance more.
