If the ESC needs one, it will be specified in the manual. Most ESC's do.

It said that on the cyclone but we never used them does anybody know if you must use them
They help the power delivery when the fet's in the esc start to get warm, so, erm, yes you should. Not running one if it is recommended may well invalidate the warranty.
