The Esc seem's to power on fine, should I be concerned about the ESC being damaged in any way from the other owner running it without the cap or if it would have caused damage would it not power on? Buggy is going thru a rebuild so I can't really "test" it just yet to see if all is well.
The ESC most definitely needs to have a cap soldered onto it at all times. If the unit was only ran once with out it, it more then likely is okay. There is no requirement to run just the Tekin cap, but we feel is one of the highest quality caps on the market.
