Just think of it this way.....the more you turn to the right the faster the motor will go, rotating it too the left the slower the motor will go......This is what i do, i loosen the screws just a tad and hook up the motor to the esc, turn the can just a tad and pull on the throttle trigger on the radio, keep doing this until your happy.......now get your ride on the road and see how fast it is.

If you turn the endbell in the opposite direction as the motor turns you're advancing the timing. This increases RPM and decreases torque.
Horsepower = RPM x torque.
The point is to increase the RPM more than the torque you lose (optimization problem for those who like calculus). After you've advanced the motor past certain point you lose more torque than you gain RPM, so you'll get less power from your motor even if it turns faster.

You dork!

But yes, you are correct. There is indeed a point of diminishing returns.
