Yes, cats do have a tendancy to be sick just where you dont want them to; even if you pick them up and put them in the kitchen to be puke up a hairball they will still run into the livingroom and make a mess on the carpet. Cant say the goldfish give me that trouble though....

Cant wait to see how peoples rigs perform post 'upgrade'. Im thinking that in order to get reliable results for comparison (without caps / with caps), that something like a steady run up and down for 10-15 minutes should be done. Measure temps, run time, capacity remaining in batts etc using an eagletree and ICE charger or whatever- plot some graphs with the data. Then solder on the caps, and repeat the test, driving up and down in the same manner. Plot the results again and compare them to the original set; if all goes according to plan then you should get some pleasing results. The key is obviously to minimise the variables as much as possible in order to conduct both tests in the same way, as far as is possible/ practical.
