Default Extra capacitor - Novak Edge?

Hi all,

I purchased a Novak Vta combo that came with the Novak Edge esc. In the box is a capacitor connected to a servo plug. What is it for? The ESC already has a smaller capacitor connected to it (also with a servo plug.) I can't find mention of it scanning the instructions. Is it a spare? Why is it bigger?


Thanks!

You need to read the instructions, not scan. It is to plug into a spare slot on the receiver and reduce the chance of brown outs...something that is more prevalent depending on what radio / servos you use. Look at everything in the box, I think it says it on a smaller sheet of paper as well as the instructions.
