BrianG, or any electronic wizard, or anyone who knows what kind of capacitor I need, can I use Mike's from RCM's store?
These?

Or could I go with the 2700uF and get better ratings, or could I go higher uF's, and get lower temps, I'm so lost right now..

Thing I worry about is your poor esav drivetrain. I don't think it'll like a beast of a motor spinning at almost 49k rpm...


Get me back into RC!

It is better to use several smaller uF caps in parallel, rather than one large cap- better heat dissipation and responce time to voltage spikes.

That said, a total uF value of about ~5000 shouldnt be exceded, lest you poop yourself at the giant sparks that also eat away at your battery & esc plugs...

Solder them in parallel to the esc's battery wires, + leg of the cap to + wire, and - to -, close to the esc as possible (strip some insulation away with an exacto blade etc).
