Default Ok so it's arrived and here are the questions....

before I even start.

1. Is the heat sink a must use item if I only use it for 540 stock, because if I do it WILL block access to the frequency pots on my JRxs receiver?

2. The kit includes a schottky diode but I already have one on my motor of similar strength/rating I don't have to use their one as well do I?

3. The manual says to use the included 104 caps on your motor (even if your motor already has one) but 540's already have 2 x 103 caps included do I still need to use the ones supplied as it's getting rather tight for space as it is?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Question 4....

Ok I've had a browse of the manual now and this does not look good.

As I read it when you've made all your adjustment you can save into one of four slots...all good so far. But when you turn it on the default is factory preset 5 ok I get that ...

BUT....as this esc will have to be set outside the chassis and access to the 3 buttons on the side it not possible how do I get it to load the profile I enter in slot 1 as default?

The esc is going in a CGM chassis and the 3 buttons will be right against the sidewall preventing in car access.

As the receiver is also on the chassis and will not be going on top of the servo if there isn't an option to load setting 1 by default I now have a pretty blue box I cant use.

Sure the manual looks cool, but come on having to manually load your fav profile each time you turn it on wtf!
