Default Caps

Wow! Did I start some interesting dialogue or what???

Interesting thing is that the World's Kit comes with a really small cap (maybe 2000uF?) and a big one (maybe 10,000uF). They give you the choice of one or the other; but, recommend that you start with the smaller cap per the instructions.

Gotta call the first as being "Baby Bear" and the other as "Papa Bear" in my mind. I choose to go with a "Momma Bear" by picking something in between (the Novak 4700uF).

Per LRP, "the larger cap gives maximum power and best possible acceleration". The smaller cap "is a great compromise, as it increases power/acceleration as well as run time".

Next week, I am headed off to 4 Fun to meet up with The Master, Todd Hodge; and then will be spectating at the Reedy race at the end of the week. Should be able to get some answers there.

Appreciate all the input; but, I am still in a quandary. Got the whole weekend to experiment though.

Thanks.

Bill
