Default New to 1/12 need help.

Hello. I just purchased a used RC12l4 and am new to the forums here. I have a few questions. First is the ESC wiring. The car came with a GM sx9 purple ESC. The wiring was kind of wierd on it and had one of the battery and motor wires soldered together. Meaning that there were only 3 wires soldered to the ESC instead of 4. It also had a black capicitor soldered inline on the leads. All that seemed wierd, so I soldered new deans wires to everything, but I was wondering what the capacitor and funny wiring was for?

I hope that makes sense. Also, does anyone have any good recommendations for an asphalt setup. There is a local track at hobbytown that I would like to get into racing at.

Lastly, I was wondering where I should order bearings from for the rc12l4. One of my front wheels has alot of wobble and a couple of my diff bearings are shot.
Thanks.
