Ok thanks for the input, I also keep a close eye on temp / gearing etc and make sure there is zero binding.

I bought some smaller resistors, will either of these be ok?

22 Ohm 1 Watt
27 Ohm 1 Watt

Certainly a lot easier to hook up than these 5 and 10 watt monsters.

As for the cap pack, well I have it now, may as well use it. The Spark arrestor is just a preference thing, the spark from plugging in my ESC in a 4s set up freaks my boy out, so a 6s or 8s will scare him s#itless. But if my ripple current isn't an issue (and as I am using good packs it shouldn't be) should I just ditch the Cap pack or is it a case of no harm having it there. (If I keep it will have to squirt some silicone in between the solder posts and cap just in case)
