I am going to be running a GTX in my B4 mostly stock and 19T motors.

Can I run without the Power Capacitor???

As I understand, the Power Cap helps keep the ESC cooler as well as the motor. It increases brakes and reduces comm damage due to arching. I have never run without one.

I have always thought it Novak didn't think it was necessary, it wouldn't be there. I do know some guys who run a smaller cap when they run the GTX in a 1/18th scale. Different demands and different size motor.

I decided to try it and see what would happen. No issues at all - very little heat. Ran 19T - geared as required by mfg. - it was OK until the wheel on my transmitter broke.
