making a capacitor bank.

[mjderstine]

hey guys. i am going to start using my mamba max in my SC truck build, and ordered some of these to make a capacitor bank.

have any of you made a bank before?

what are your tips for doing it, or can i just wire it up and solder away like this guy did?

what do you think?

[slimthelineman]

We build them often at work. With caps that small you don't really have anything to worry about so solder away.

I would insulate the bare wires wen you have finished the soldering. Something like hot glue or liquid electrical tape should do.

sounds good guys. i thought it would be that easy.

What would the benefit be of doing this? And is it replacing the OE caps in the MM controller?

[mjderstine]

as far as i have read from the brains on here:
helps out with voltage spikes from the batteries.
will also help over heating of the ESC
but they can add a more scientific explanation.

it does not replace the stock caps. its wired directly to the ESC battery wires.

here's mine.



they are BIG.

i thought i only ordered 3, but i got 4! awesome.
