Seriously just a guess... but every single reputed motor maker (PN, Atomic, Teammnm, Flash, etc.) uses 103 or 104 caps on Xmod or Mini-Z motors.

From what I have found out, larger caps work just as well, but they are overkill. 103's and 104's are the minimum I believe.

Re: Capacitors

any cap will do the job. just the 103 or 104 are smaller.

Re: Capacitors

STOP!!!!

If you don't want the life of your motor to be 5x sped up (kill the motor 5x faster)...
OR
Risk jamming your radio system, and needing a new Xmod.

Then get 103 or 104 caps. :wink:

Re: Capacitors

to filter out the electrical "noise" of the motor. w/out them, the motor causes interference with the car.
