Looking for a good Power Cap

[Spihc]

Hi folks,

Looking for a good Power Capacitor to fit on my GM V12XC esc, what should I look for? Any suggestions? Do I benefit from buying one from a RC retailer at $12 or do I go to my local electronics shop and buy one for $3?

Doesnt almost know what I'm looking for actully.

Edit: dont know if its any use: but its not for competing, rather bashing and having fun on a track.

local electronics store - unless you fancy buying something that's exactly the same for 4-5x the price (it's the same thing with schottky diodes)

Please advice, looking at these objects:

Klick here for english page (https://www1.elfa.se/elfa~eu_en/b2b/start.do)

Search for object:67-228-62, and 67-181-91.

I know they are 4700 and 8800 uf, thats about it, but which is better suited for my needs is out of my field.

Dont understand these tecnical aspects of the ratings of the different capacitor types, RJH, MV-AX and WGR. To me they could all be the same to ease the choosing.

Someone with knowledge of what to look for? more then the amunt of UF stored?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone? Is there anyone with knowledge in the electric division?

My best guess is that all these electrolyte capacitors, work's the same, but they might have different capabilities, such as fast charge/dischage, high tollerance, and such...

Will have order one of each and try my way to knowledge.

Something like these, http://www.teamnovak.com/products/power_capacitors/index.html

"5600 microfared 10V Electrolytic capacitor"

tho... microfared's is that 56uF or 5600uF ?

Would that be : stock code 67-180-50 Low imp el.cap 5600uF/10V from your link ???
