A schottky diode is to help protect the esc, so if you can, run one. It'll also give you better braking by the end of a race.

oh i see, thanks xrayFK,

another question tho, do you got some pics of a schottky diode installed in a motor?

should i solder it together with the ESC wires touching the motor tabs? or should i only solder it in the motor tabs? its a non-polarized diode btw.

A schottky diode is polarized, so I don't think you have the right kind. It is a black barrel shape with a white ring on one side, that is the positive side. The diode can be soldered inline or on the motor tabs themselves.
Here is an example if soldering the diode inline: http://groups.msn.com/RCZOMBIES/novakdiodemod.msnw

It's rc-zombies', hope he doesn't mind
