capacitor getting hot - 10.20.2008, 11:06 AM

Hi below is a copy of an email I sent to Novak. I figure the more info the better. I need to get this fixed ASAP:

I have a HV 6.5 system that I run in my buggy. Last week it shut down mid way through the A main. This week it did the same thing, and I noticed the capacitor was really hot. I put a temp gun to it and it was 180 degrees. The motor and ESC both check out at 100-110 degrees. This is actually my second capacitor, my first one went bad about the 3rd week I owned it and I replaced it with another stock replacement which I soldered. I am running 14/46 gearing on 4s lipos. My internal BEC has not been working either. I’ve been running an RX pack. Not sure if this is related or not. I am in a desperate situation, I had 2nd locked up in my local points series, with 2 DNF’s I’ll be lucky to get third. So any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks Steve
