Quark fried, blown capacitor...

Hmm, yeah, a little heavy/big for 8th-10th scale.

I'd be curious to see an eagletree graph with and without the caps to see how much they help the voltage stay steady, and to see if you can get the full Ah rating out of the battery since it isn't working as hard (in bursts).

Maybe a 5-10F setup would be a little better for smaller 8-10th scale vehicles, yet still provide close to the same benefits.
