capacitor?
 

will a 330V 80uf capacitor work with a a vxl esc or a mm.

no, low uf and too high voltage

go for 25v 330uf+

And you have to make sure it's a low-ESR type. Look for the 105*C rating, The 80*C variety will overheat and puff/leak.

If you can only get 330uF/25v caps, use two or three in parallel to get around 1000uF total.

I used 8:lol:

lol, that's fine. At some point, you don't get as much bang-for-the-buck. And it gets a little cumbersome finding space to mount it close to the ESC power input, which is where it needs to go. Also, watch that spark! :wink:

Adding 1000uF doubles what is found on most ESCs stock.

BTW: your pinion should be there tomorrow or Sat I would think. Have fun!

Look at the new novak modules....

is novak the only place to get the capacitor or do other places make them?

I just found the right cap in a old charger, in your opinion would it make a difference on a vxl esc?

The novak HV 2700uf one does wonders for temps / stability on my MMs... I would do in in a heartbeat...

thanks ill have to try it.
