Hi,
While I'm no expert, I think the resistor thing & the cap thing are 2 different things. The resistor thing was an attempt to eliminate the sometimes frightening spark when the battery is connected to the esc while the capacitor is there to assist the esc run a little cooler.
Hey Arct1k, if u do find the cap helps with esc temp. do update us although I think MMM is fine without it. Having said that cooler is always better.

the difference between a "resistor" and a "cap"/or "capasitor"? 
Is the cap used to help reduce the electrical "ripple" effect talked about in other threads?
Is this used to help reduce problems caused by "cheaper" batteries?
I apologise in advance for my ignorance. 
If you dont feel like schooling me, I understand, but maybe you can point me in the right direction to school myself on this?
Websites, links, forum threads about this subject I may have missed?  etc.
Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
and be gentle  |
