Adding a cap - 11.27.2013, 01:14 AM

I have two blown novak HV maxx escs. I would like to remove one of the caps and install it on my mamba max (not pro) esc. I just installed an external bec to help keep temps down. I have read caps can help too. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I just want to make sure, is there anything special I should know? Such as solder the cap wires near the esc or the battery plug? Or anything else?

Thanks guys.

Also, I have read the mamba max is capable of 4s with an external bec. Is there truth to this?

4s with an external bec? Good to know. I've been thermaled on 2s running a 5700 2 pole. Looking for ways to handle this 5700 motor a little better. Last few runs went very well, even a 3s run.

Still wondering about addint a cap... Should it be discharged first? I have one that's been out of use for five years. It's most likely naturally discharged by now.
