FB5b, it certainty does do my head in... i was looking at 5ohm 10 watt and their monsters! i would love to have a definitive value,

so thats, 4x220uf on the cap pack, and 2x 680uf on the MMMXLv2?

according to brians calculator i will require a 45ohm, 20watt resistor to charge caps in half a second...

that seems CRAZY high?
You also might damage the ESC if the 45 ohm resistor is connected when the ESC beeps the motor...

Just use 1 ohm. It works fine.

Thanx!
