Capacitor Board?

[What's_nitro?]

I've got a 10,000 uF cap on my MGM and it makes a little arc weld on the bullet connector each time I plug it in... Talk about punch! Unfortunately there's no way to get around that fact and still have the performance of a larger cap.

You must not have seen the thread about it a month or 2 ago, and the page that appeared shortly after. http://www.scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_nospark.html

No I hadn't seen it! (smacks himself for not thinking of it first) Thanks Patrick. Also, I found out I need a 600W power supply to charge my coilgun's capacitor bank in 10 seconds!

U should have looked at my thread PedeBeater, these guys said the exact same thing....

anyways here is my capacitor board

Here is what i did last summer with my Quark 125.... It's very overkill I know, but that thing could handle ANYTHING i threw at it, massive over gearing, you name it.

It is not bad, but to achieve the goal -> there should be no connectors on the path from caps to ESC and wires should be as short as possible.
Like Zeropointbug, but with less caps :)

Yes, exactly... maybe 4 of those caps, at the very most; anymore and you're not benefiting.

i know about the connectors, but i dont know if i need it or not, so im going to test it-make it removable for comparison..... If it works out well ill solder it in
