ESC Capacitors

uf is the capacity of the capacitor. Bigger the number the more energy they can store. Having one 2000uf cap is the same as having 20, 100uf caps. However, I believe having less caps is more efficient.

So would you say having 2 or 3 330 Uf caps is better than having 1 1800 Uf Cap or something in that range?

Surface area of what??

Thats the opposite of what he said...

2x330=660
3x330=990

or just 1800Uf and you surpass have 2 or three, and with what he said about having less is more efficient, having 1 1800Uf is obviously more efficient and better. At least thats what I got from what he said...
