hmmm, all I can find on Digikey is surface mount type caps, but a good selection though.

Also, what is the difference between cut-tape (CT), and Tape and Reel (TR).

I would like to find out what the voltage ratings on the ceramic caps(Novak trans-cap), and the transient chip are. Then maybe I could just mount a higher voltage cap to it?

I'm sure ESC manufacturers could integrate these chips onto their boards, you would think. For example, the Quark, they could have soldered the FET's closer to each other, and added an extra capacitor, maybe a few more ceramics too, their is room after all.
