Help choosing which of these 3 caps to hang on the MM - 12.14.2009, 03:00 AM

Got a tough one here. My little mm broke up with it's long time Novak cap. Seems the cap was having some difficulties at work and was pretty torn about the whole issues. It's unfortunate but it does look like it tooks its own life with the MM right by it side. Which means MM is pretty shaken and we're screwed out of any life insurance money the coward had on his policy.

All that behind me. I want my MM ESC to get on with life. I've selected three eligile Bachlacapacitors to court my little mm and help take some heat off. The three bachlacapacitors that I need help with are below.

Announcers voice of the Capping Game:

Let's meet todays eligible Bachlacapacitors.

Batchlacapacitor #1
is a long/slender cap with the following cridentials
Blue/Silver, 680uf, 50v, 105c, ce hqf

Batchlacapacitor #2
is a short/stocky cap with the following cridentials
Gloria - blue/silver, 2200uf, 35v, 105c

Batchlacapacitor #3
is a long/slender cap with the following cridentials
Blue/Bronze, 1200uf, 35v, 105c ce fm

I don't want to be the superficial type and base my descision on looks alone. I mean the blue/bronze one is really stunning and I just can't take my eye off it. That wouldn't be fair to MM. It's not me that is going to be joined at the hip with it. The major problem is I don't read or speak the language. Being the illitarate fellow I am in this language. It wouldn't suprise me if these are the wrong type all together. I found these caps passed out in an alley behind a bar. If one will work though. I think it would be wise to get it hitched to the MM before it sobers up.

If anyone that speaks or reads capacitor could interpret those credintials and tell me which would be the best, of the best, of the best, Sir. I would appreciate the help given.

Bachlacapcitor No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3?

Thanks for the help.



Notice how I was considerate to those in a hurry and bolded the important info? huh?? Just glance at it and you know what I am asking and no need to read the lengthy and unrequired added commentary. Hey! Off my back already. Even I get tired of the same old "Which caps should I use?" question. Some day you'll thank me.

Since it's just an MM limited to 4S, choice two would be ideal.

It has plenty of voltage overhead and a nice, large capacity.

CRT .5: 7075 Ext Chassis, LMT1930/7, FP 25C 3S Lipos, MM

Not sure which cap you should get, but that was a truly heart wrenching story.

I'll choose number 2 as well. In fact, that's the same cap I have on the ESC I bought from Luciano last year.


Castle Neu 1520 on 6S LiPo Powered Gmaxx (Nitro Killer)
Predator with OS .21TM
Supermaxx with Mach .26
Revo with OS .18TZ
Kyosho ST-RR Conversion
Ofna CR with Tekin ESC/Motor (2)

I would go with #2 if it was just one cap. If there was more space I would go with 2x #3 or 4x #1. Another consideration is resistance, preffer to get one with lower resistance than the battery pack.

If you pimp out Ms. ESC to many then you will have greater heat dissapation(spelling?).

Multiple lower value caps is the way to go. Lower overall ESR and better heat dissipation. Rated at least 1.5x the voltage you plan on running.
