I DON'T, however, suggest trying to solder to the Mamba Max board -- it's a six layer, heavy copper (six ounces per layer) board -- and soldering to that board is SO difficult that we had to spend about twenty thousand dollars upgrading our soldering equipment at work to handle the Mamba Max board. It requires a very good quality high power iron to get the board hot enough for soldering without over-temp on the chips...

If it is so hard...can you offer me part's to improve your ESC?
And lets not go to capacitor importance business, I had enough with your other partner, I do have respect for you.

I believe this is the same item...
griffinru or anyone else who has good knowledge of caps. will the abve cap be a good choice for any rc esc application assuming the battery is under 25V? also do you think using 2 instead of 1 will make any difference in cooling down a novak hv esc. they appear to be the same as the novak hv one except for the wires.
has anyone purchased a bunch of these and wants to get rid of a few?

It is alright, I would go with FM-type. If you need couple send me PM.

Five-oh-joeIs it possible for the mamba max to run hotter because of an extra 2700uf 25v rated low ESR cap? I just soldered the Novak cap leads directly to the board (got a hot enough iron), and am still testing it. Just wondering if it may hurt performance on say 2s lipo.

Yes, it is possible. External cap (boost cap , as I call it and some other manufactures) designed to compensate for long wires and poor connectors (or wearing out connectors, tear and wear... from continues usage).
