Soldering on the Mamba Max ESC

[Bernie Wolfard]

Putting caps on the actual wires close to the ESC is a good way to do it, but I still don't see the reason for adding capacitance. A well-designed ESC won't benefit from it, it just adds expense and effort. If other brands of ESCS benefit from it seems to say something about their design.

A soldering gun is not appropriate for electronics work. There is 120 volts going through the tip when on which can quickly create a disaster with electronic circuits.

Throughout my testing of the mm, it seems to lower the operating temperatue of the esc. I am running 4s lipo, and outside of the spec of the esc. All of mine are working fine and stay cooler with the added capacitors.

MambaMax is well-designed ESC when you use it below 3S LiPo/300 Watts.
But when you start pushing limits, then new caps and extra heatsinking comes to play.
-plus couple other things here and there.
