Motor questions
I have the binary2 stock motor, which has the capacitors already on it and was wondering if I need to add a schottky diode still? Also, what about the Novak schottky diode motor module? Is that something worth getting?
#2
Yes definetly add either the schottky diode or the Novak schottky diode. Either one will make a big difference. Just be sure to install it directly on the motor, not in line or attached to the speed control.

get the shotockly(sp) diode, done deal. I also run a B2, and the change in temp, and overall smoothness is amazing.

I have the schottky diode from my LRP ESC, but I was just wondering since I've been out of RC for awhile and motors didn't come with those pc boards attached to them back then. I wasn't sure if they minaturized the s.diode and started putting them on the motors or if it was just the capacitors.
I remember having to put 2 caps and 1 diode on, and when I saw the motor with 3 caps on it I wasn't too sure.

that little board is just the capacitors, you still should put the diode on.

Yeah, and make sure you gear down a couple teeth on your binary. The way they work, you need to, and the perforamance will still be a bout the same.

Is the shotckey diode needed for Keyence V Zero Extreme 4 cell oval high-bank track for B2 ?

uh, why not? Since electricity travels at roughly 10% the speed of light(186,000 miles per SECOND) through conductive material, the time it takes to travel the couple of inches is in better words 0 as in instant. Also, the resistance of the wire in this speedo/motor circuit is negligable. therefore, there is no real difference is you attach the diode at the motor or had 4 inches of wire between the motor and diode. It does the same thing.

i got a new gt7 and its got a little box thing that im told is a very powerful diode so there is no need to install another so if you got one of those new gt7's with the box in the wire dont worry about installing a diode!

To heck with Chuck @ novak. he is telling you that so you will buy their WAY WAY overpriced shotcky diode (that you could get for $.50 from RS) and put on one EVERY motor you own. Marketing.

We're all consumers that buy over priced items, don't worry. Stores have to make atleast 20 - 30% of what they sell it for.
