Quark fried, blown capacitor...

[BrianG]

That's nice to know! You can mod it and they'll still cover it - or did you mention you epoxied the FETs to the case? If you're gonna use 4 caps, get the 220uF ones because they'll be smaller and it will be easier to get soldered as close to the ESC as possible.

Oh, just a warning, you're gonna get a bigger arc when you plug in your batteries once you do that, but I'm sure you knew that...

Yeah, that might be a problem, you don't want to go too big because of arcing like you said, your plugs might just become vapor after a while. :005:

Other option, what do you think about making a plug literally soldered right onto the board and poke out of the case? And have a cap bank on the battery end of things, right next to the deans, so almost no wire length between the caps and the case. But do you think caps should be on the other side of a plug?

BTW, i've tried to find solid polymer caps, but only made up to 16v. The only place I have seen them is a PC motherboards, video cards, some new sound cards. I don't want to run them in series either, IMO.

I wonder if ultra caps would help. Do you remember our thread back in Dec.? They would simply be for more power and take load off batts, but if used right, could they function as a power stage cap?
