Description
This is a Power Trans-Cap Module for use in high-voltage applications with an input voltage range from 4S to 6S Li-Po. This module includes an 1,800µF power capacitor rated at 35V and includes two transorbs to reduce ESC temperatures and provide protection for the ESC. This module is factory wired with 4 inches of red and black 16-gauge silicone wire, and solders directly to the ESC’s positive and negative battery solder tabs. Module is rated for use with 4-6S Li-Po packs. Exceeding this input voltage will damage the module. |
Yes, just like that, except turn that single 1800uF cap into 2 or 3 smaller uF caps for better heat dissipation, use 12-13GA wire, and maybe have 3 or 4 TVS devices. Basically beefier for the higher powered setups. Also, it would be nice if Castle had their own to go with their products.
Besides, on the Novak version, $18 is a little steep for 3 cheap devices IMO. That probably can be assembled for under $5, and that's not even counting bulk ordering.
