This is a question for engineering/tech support ([email protected]); you are correct that the GlitchBuster and the TransCap module are two separate capacitors designed for separate jobs. Every esc we make includes the TC module installed:

The Glitch Buster Capacitor is Novak’s weapon in the war against glitching. The same technology that professional racers around the world have been using to fight glitching problems is now available for everyone. The Glitch Buster works by storing power from the BEC, and acting as a filter to eliminate any noises generated by servos that can wreak havoc on your radio system. Another benefit of using Novak’s Glitch Buster is that it reduces the load on the ESC’s BEC, and improves response time, which makes the servo faster! The high-capacity, super low-resistance capacitor comes pre-wired and ready to install into any standard receiver. Simply plug it directly into any open channel or battery slot on the receiver, and experience a glitch-free ride.

The Glitch Buster is also recommended to use with 2.4GHz radio systems, ensuring trouble-free operation by working to prevent radio drop outs.
We have been selling some form of this GlitchBuster for @30 years; many years ago, we called it a StutterStopper.....

The higher the C rating of LiPo 2s batteries, the less likely I am to need or benefit from these? A 40C or 50C battery will cause less "ripple currents" than a 25C battery? If this is so, does this mean that a higher C rated battery is easier on an esc and/or better for an esc? (assuming the esc is rated at 80+ amps or so)
