The "Jea Capacitors" ebay store has a bunch of different values.

For the MM and Quark, I would get 35v caps, but the capacitance value is a different story. You probably want 3 or 4 smaller (220uF to 330uF) caps to shed heat easier. However, having a bunch of caps clustered around the ESC may be a little messy. But, if you get one, maybe two, larger ones (~1,000uF), it will be easier to mount, but harder to shed the heat.

So, now I'm not sure what value to get. Arggg.

270uF 35v
330uF 35v
390uF 35v
1000uF 35v
1500uF 35v

Hey, I found that the 330uF is the best BANG for ESR/capacitance, and low ESR will mean less heat.

IMO, I would mount 2, maybe 3 extra caps, or if you want to get a little crazy, 6 of them in a bank.

BTW, I found that note in the manual about the LVC. It must have still been at the LVC I set way back when I first got it, and that's maybe why it was cutting out, because I think I set it to something like 2.5V cell, and I may very well have gone under that under a burst of current?
