Have you tried the 68,000uF capacitor yet?

holy crap!

Would like to know if anyone has put one of these in.

Im still looking for a nice place to put my Capacitor.

I dont want it to be directly on the ESC so i was thinking of putting it on the deans plug on the esc side, where the wires meet the the plug.

what do you all think.

AE Racer

Are these good capacitors for our application? I might want to try one of these on my LRP QC2 in the future, but I only want to try it if there is no risk of damaging my ESC because I havent heard many good things about LRP's customer service. Is there any problem with installing one on a 3 wire ESC becuase the capacitor will have to be connected to one of the motor wires? I doubt it will, but just checking. Will the QC2s reactive software cause any problems with the capacitor?

Thanks

any capacitor will work as long as it is in the right voltage range. for instance i wouldn't put a capacitor of more than ten volts for a novak gt7. ko speed contollers can handle i think 16 volts. my buddy has twin 4700 microfarad(ten volts-standard cap for gt-7)on his gt-7. mondo punch

The volts on the caps is the maximum voltage the caps could handle. You could jolly well put a 35V rating caps onto your esc without any problem but is it necessary to use 35V ratings..they cost moreand heavier too. I would use 4700ufd 12V or perhaps 16V ratings max max.

tornado

No problemo......hope it don't pop ! nah...it'll do.

AE Racer

Are the capactiors that come with the LRP worlds kit good? I know that they are overpriced, but another cap would probably void my warrenty, although I guess if I took it off they'd never know.

tornado

I didn't use the power cap that come with my GM esc. I usually get either 2200uf or 4700uf 16V rating from the local electronic store. They work just find.

You're right ! The LRP power cap kit is way overpriced !

AE Racer

So theres no real chance of the 10,000uf 10v cap hurting my ESC? It sounds like it would benefit it, but I can't be too careful when Ive read that it takes 2+ months to get a LRP ESC back from repair.

tornado

Nah ! power caps don't hurt it.... water will, no schottky diode or not enough will, motor shorting or jam, over geared ur car but not power caps.

AE Racer

Thanks for the info

is the cap that goes with the GT7 good for racing on stock motors or do i have to replace them? i got mine used but i think its the newer version

tornado

I've no problem with my GT7 with the cap that comes with it. If you feel that you need a higher capacitance...you could add one on top of the the existing one....parallel.

HEY MY OLD CAPACITATOR FRIED OFF, WHERE DO YOU INSTALL A 10,000 UF CAPACITATOR CORRECTLY IN THIS SPEED CONTROL. I GOT A FRIEND TO INSTALL IT, PUT I THINK HE INSTALLED IT WRONG... PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE TO CORRECTLY INSTALL IT THANKS..
