I recently re-wired my CRT.5 which uses an MM and Lehner 1930/7 on 3S FlightPower 25C 3700mah Lipo.

Originally, I had it wired up with a Novak HV-Maxx capacitor. I believe the specs are 25V and 2700 uF.

I am also using a Castle BEC.

After my re-wiring, I forgot to install the capacitor, so I was running the same setup without the capacitor (shorter wires though from motor to ESC and some other stuff though).

My temperatures were noticeably warmer. I never temp'd the ESC before, since the ESC would at most get very warm but never too hot for me to touch. Now, it hits 130*F in only 4-5 minutes. I have stopped running it for now unti I re-install the cap.
