It all depends on the quality of your battery if the battery has a current spike anytime during your run then the esc will die .21.5T not that powerful but using turbo software i wouldnt recommened running without a cap bank .No cap uneven voltage from battery and possibility if spikes plus heat created from the ripple current .

Im sure when you go to the track that someone will have a spare cap bank .
