I mentioned this in another thread, but I purchased a bunch of larger caps from Digi-key awhile ago. I wonder if it's not too big a deal to retrofit ESC's with these caps and some 18-awg wire (normally used for receiver packs)? I did this mod to my OEMRC speed control which is very similar to the ones you offer component-wise and it's flawless.

Beleza (That kind of means what's up in Brasilian Portuguese btw)..I'm trying my best and it's not looking so bad. I'm going to take some pictures of what can be done to the caps, but they'll look something like the Hobbywing cap bank. I'll post pictures of it when I'm done. Thank you for posting.

I purchased 3 of your ESC's and they are all behaving well. It was sad to see the pictures of the damaged ESC but I am hoping it was due to a timing issue. I checked my ESC's again to make sure that the ESC's that were paired to the motors were on the correct timing.

I think you are doing a great job and hope the testing will go on to be successful. and you will have a great product once the caps issue is sorted out.
