hi,
I've got a question regarding those extra power caps you have there. Where did you get them, and what are the specs?
In the past, I have always equipped my esc's with extra power caps. I used to have some plane-esc's (well, the breaks are crap), and I soldered some extra power caps on (approx. 3000uf).
So I "pimped" my sae-brushless esc (
http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...&highlight=sae) with some extra caps. I am not quite sure, but I think it ran cooler afterwards. But finally, one day it burned. I 'm pretty sure it was due to the hard cogging after a jump, and not my fault, or caused by the extra caps (low esr).
I have got a replacement-esc, so I now wonder, if I could add some extra caps. I've asked mr. constructor (lutach has his chassis) about that, and he thinks, that some more caps - probably - also could cause damage, if they have the wrong capacaty or volts.
regarding the replacement sae-esc, I will post some news as soon as I have tested it. Probably they have improved the software (other users of the new one report very smooth throttle), at least the wires/cables have a better quality.
There are power caps available for yge or etti esc's, so it can't be wrong I think.
I just want to be sure, if adding caps prevents the esc from damage.
and yes, those hands are just amazing....
thanks for any hint
