ESC Fans and Capacitors Qu.

[Bigdawgracer]

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.
