Someone help me out on this one...

I recieved my Mamba Max today and besides having to dremel cut a screwdriver slot in a case screw because the head was stripped from the factory, I was satisfied.

Now I bought 3 35V 330 micro farad caps, a 1800 micro farad cap, 1 zener diode as linked to in that one post from digi-key. I also bought a small sheet of brass, artic alum thermal compound and epoxy, all added up quickly! I was planning on doing the stage one mod outlined in another post myself since I'm fairly good with building circuits.

-Now the stock MM has 3 330 25V caps, will I gain anything by switching to the 35V caps?

-Is it worth cracking it open to replace to diode or do all of the greasing and backing with brass?

-Also, are the stock motor leads (13 AWG) fine with the Feigao and the stock connectors as well?

-I was checking out that wiring diagram link n the forum, is it best to tap the UBEC off of the ESC or battery connector(ESC side of course). Next, it shows an optional 1000 micro farad cap in the 3rd channel of the rx, I'm running a CC UBEC, is that needed? I don't see how though, also my transponder goes there.

I am running this in a truggy on 4s with a Feigao 9XL, the only reason I was planning on doing this was to keep temps low on 15 minute mains. My whole goal with the mod was to keep temps LOW. I am going to run dual novak fans I bought as well (they look cool to which is always a plus).

Thanks!
