Can anyone tell me the frequency this is running at? I'm playing with cap values, but I just can't figure out what the freq is.
Also tried eliminating R1 and R2... Is this OK for almost full control over the duty cycle? Are there other things that they are doing in the circuit? I want almost full control to test both very high and ultra low resistance atties on this with high C rate lipos.

Without both R1 and R2:

If the one without the extra resistors is ok... here is my parts list:
