Timing, we need to know which motor to do the calculation.
Brake, none. You never have brake on a heli.
Cut off voltage 3.4.
Heres the best video to check.

Can you count the magnets inside the motor to give me the pole count?

Ok found out its a 6 pole motor.
The higher the timing the more RPM, more power, but less efficiency.
I would recommend 6º or 12º for that motor.

Heres a little chart to guide you .

Low Timing Advance
Timing Degrees – 5 & 10
Motor Poles – 2 to 4
Expected Performance – Good balance of power and efficiency
Motor Poles – 6 or more
Expected Performance – Best efficiency and run time (lowest power)

Standard Timing Advance
Timing Degrees – 15 & 20
Motor Poles – 6 to 12
Expected Performance – Good balance of power and efficiency
Motor Poles – 14 or more
Expected Performance – Best efficiency and run time (lowest power)

High Timing Advance
Timing Degrees – 25
Motor Poles – 12
Expected Performance – Highest power, less efficiency
Motor Poles – 14 or more
Expected Performance – Good balance of power and efficiency

Thanks again Lee. :D That information is very helpful and appreciated. Maybe I can get this 500 in the air already once I figure out my tail servo problem.

No worries.
If you find the motor is getting very hot, then just reduce the timing.
