I am 100% serious. My terminology may not be 100% correct but caps are designed to work within a certain range. If the MOSFET's in the ESC do not operate within that range, the cap will not be as effective as the correct one or will not offer anything at all. Even on the Novak website you will see that, vist the LRP website as well. All caps are not the same. Not all caps will work with all ESC's.
Look at the Novak website where thyey offer 3-4 different caps. All the caps they offer are to be used with specific Novak ESC's. They, the manufacture call this out in bold, red type. They say do not use this cap with any other ESC than those listed!!
Novak says that not all their caps will work with all their ESC's. So what makes you think that any Novak cap will work with an LRP ESC????
