I will gladly be awaiting those caps :).

That motor temp doesn't sound too good... My thoughts tell me that it's toast, since after about 180 deg. on the outside the inner temperature will most likely be hot enough to start de-magnetizing the rotor. I'm curious if the caps caused the excessive heat in the motor, which might be from their ability to allow for higher currents to flow through the FETs than is possible without them. Or, maybe the motor was just undergeared.
