Default ESC with internal capacitor.

Hi guys.

Just curious, do any of you know of a brand other than Corally that produce an ESC for competition 1/10th with an internal cap?

Usually the cap is outside so when it blows you can swap it easy and it doesn't blow everything else in the esc along with it.

I believe the Skyrc is the Corally, or vice versa.

I can’t believe these caps are so expensive.

Man.... you realy think RC caps are something special? Go to a radioshack and you have a right capacitor for less than a dollar.

Out of interest, why might one expect to blow a capacitor? Usually if one connects a battery backwards something internal goes pop...

The high frequencies and current bursts it has to deal can make the cap go bad.

Can you not read sarcasm?

Not many Radio shacks around anymore, besides I get my stuff from Digi-Key, Mouser, Newark. I also have stock on hand of the most common components which included diodes, resistors thru-hole/Smt, capacitors-> ceramic, tantalum, Mylar electrolytic thru-hole/smt, small signal transistors, mosfets up to 10amp, rectifiers, plus a lot more.
