...I think my overkill 23mF low esr should suffice - did not do the math - off the batt(pun intended :-) ) what do think brian?

It would be hard to find room for a 1-2 farad 35V capacitor in an 1/8th scale.


But yes, extra capacitance cant hurt, and in some cases will be a very good thing.

HOWEVER, using it as a band-aid for insufficient batteries isn't a good idea -- just get batteries that can handle the load (better fix...)
