GTB capasitor?
Hi guys, I just got a GTB/10.5 used for real cheap. I was wondering if I could run it with-out the capasitor untill I get a new one? I was told it just would be as smooth but I dont want to destroy the escalso how do I tell if it has a LVC? I dont know exactly which model it is but it isnt that old. Thanks guys.

I don't think I would run it. One guy I race with lost one on his lrp and they told him that it was critical to the system..?? as far as the lipo cut of I was told that if you have a red and amber light then your speed control has lipo cut off otherwise you won't have this light combo.

on my super sport esc (older novak brushless), the capacitor went bad and caused the esc to heat up alot. i would not run the gtb without it, but i always err on the side of caution.

I ran my GTX without a capacitor (well one of the wires broke off) and it worked for about 15 runs till I broke another part, but it did get a little hot and definitly not as smooth.

well I wasent gonna run it but I wanted to turn it on. So I did.....my reciver friednow I need to spend $70 on a new one unless I can get it fixed by spektrum. Also it dosent have a LVC so ill proaly sell the esc cheap and run my sidewinder with the novak motor. pm me if you want the esc, Im not sure about selling it but Im leaning toward it, we will see. lol

Spektrum Is a great company with great costomer service from what I have seen so they will probally fix it for you! I have heard of people running novak motors on castle stuff and always wanted to try it! Let me know what you think!!

Yeah, well I actually fixed it, lol. The novqak motor works with the sidewinder but my esc got really hot for some reasone. Like not running just in my hand went up to 185*. I dont like thatso im selling the gtb and motor as a combo really cheap like $80cuz I need a new sero now lol
