MMM Mods

this is the one novak recommends
Power Trans-Cap Module .......they have extra doohicky's on them

Hmmm... $17.50 for a cap with wires added or $2 and I add my own wires...

Number one...... electronics are not my forte but it seems you are considering this to be just another capacitor......did you even read my first link and look at the bottom of the page?

the Novak unit makes this claim


The Novak capacitor modules have more than just a power capacitor, we have also included on this module two Transient Suppressors and three High Frequency Decoupling Capacitors. The two Transient Suppressors act like a voltage clamp and prevent high voltage spikes from damaging the ESC, and the three High-Frequency Decoupling Capacitors filter out radio interference noise.
So, the Novak capacitor is not just any power capacitor. Novak specially selects capacitors with very low ESR values with the highest possible ripple current for the capacitor that size

is this just pure bullshit or is there something to this?

There is probably something to that. That little transient surpressor "voltage clamp" device is what Artur adds to the MM and R1Pro when he mods it. Only he adds a single biggger one to the back of the main board where the main power wires are soldered on.

I guess there may be something to it. I dont know if'n its needed or not, but It probably cant hurt anything.


EDIT: and no, I didnt scroll down. lol
