The first unit went to our man Jeff for some stock and super stock testing. With Jeffs skills and setups we are able to really see any performance issues clearly. The oval testing will also really put it thru some good performance comparisons.

Yes a capacitor is needed for any motor. Even high turn BL motors are pretty much direct shorts since there are no brush and comm losses. In low turn mod we recommend 2 in parrallel since low turn motors are literally a few inches of wire and a serious dead short with almost no inductance to slow things down.
