ESC Fans and Capacitors Qu.
 

Hi All,

I'm soon going to be running a Reventon Pro ESC in my 2wd buggy.

2 questions about this;-

1) Is it always necessary to have a capacitor fitted between the +ve and -ve battery terminals?

2) Do I need to run with the fan fitted?

Thanks in advance!

Capacitor = yes.
Fan = try with out, measure the temperature regularly.

I have a rev pro with no fan in one 2wd. The other 2wd needs one as the esc is tucked away behind the motor.

Hi Matt,

Thanks!

Any recommendations for capacitor suppliers?
The ones off E-Bay don't stay connected long.............!

I make them, if you're interested.

Do you make both?

yes, 2 or 4 bank for your esc and one for your receiver

Sorry to thread jack but I have a couple of question's , why do we need a capacitor for the reciever ? and if you fit one does it just go in the free slot on the rx ? I ask as I had an rx fail on me after a very short life and I'd never heard until now that I should fit one with a capacitor .

The capacitor in the receiver is to help stop problems with high power servos causing brownouts or if you run GT12 or 12th circuit it's usually a 1S battery that is used so you can use a cap to stop the same type of issues.

It wouldn't help stop a receiver failure.

Thanks

Not will it let you run a 2s speedo on 1s

Did someone ask that Mark?
