Power capacitor question

Power capacitor question
I just got a Traxxas Slash, and I found a new Novak Mega Power Capacitor(part# 5673) in my parts drawer. Since I can't change out any of the stock gear to race, would I see any benefit to adding this capacitor to the esc? Also, how would I do it, wire it into the motor wires? Would it act like a power booster?

Nope, def not. My new Quark 33a ProCar came with cap (smaller) already unstalled. Castle doesn't believe in them, but everyone I know with a MM runs with a cap. I use the one novak makes that plugs into the rx on my emax just cause it was convenient. The closer you have them located to the esc, the more effective they are.

We now offer a fuller line of our transcap modules---both for replacement on Novak controllers and as upgrades on other escs which use either internal or external capacitors:
