when,why and how should you use it? also for what" on or off road?

It gives smooth delivery of current, solder it on to the + and - terminal of the battery. I have an evo V, and i use it onroad, with my 19T where I like some punch.

Did you mean Straight Ltd. v8 caps? perhaps this link can help you a bit http://www.cna.ne.jp/~straight/Produ...rok9_s4v8.html

and i always use http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/ for translation...not accurate but you can get the idea

I use the s4 in my evo 5 also, after newb and someone else offered advice on how to hook it up. It requires a (diode?) that needs to be run between the + & - motor terminals. I just couldnt figure it out. Thanks agian newb and Xrayfx. I think there is some more info in the vfs-1 thread.

(I am thinking does newb refer to me? haha) Placing the s4 under the shaft of the evo 5 is the perfect place for it. Although wiring is a bit tricky.

The s4 capacitor will come with a small resistor, but its purpose and usage is answered in another thread that i started. Do a search and you will find the answer.

Most brushed ESCs will require a diode that runs between the motor + and - terminals to prevent the backwards emf generated by the motor from damaging the esc.

This is what I was told- The diode you guys mentioned is a resistor. It is not supposed to be soldered to the capacitor, motor or battery. After every run, take the resistor and touch it to the terminals of the capacitor. Its supposed to drain any remaining power from the caps.

Cheers.

How about brushless, I'm switching to brushless and don't know if these caps have any benefit?

will this work on any kind of speedo (brushED)? or just KO's?

rcnewb2004

the capacitor will work with any speedo.

Someone knows the weight for the V8 capacitor ?

rcnewb2004

not really, but curious why u want to know... its so minuet that it doesn't make a world of difference i don't think.

S_fender

I'ts because in europe we were 6 cells and 1500g and now, 5 cells with 1350 g... so we try to gain everywhere we could .

Yes... we are a little crazy...

rcnewb2004

oops.. sorry i din't know... we are down to the grams... >_< hm... i haven't measured its mass... but its not going to be much different from a 10v 3700uf capacitor.... within 10g of it.... (sorry i have no scale)

where can you purchase them?
