I just got the Slow Jazz Indoor BiPlane from Global; it came with a Motor and gear box; looks like something from GWS; the motor did not have one of those ceramic capacitors or the Positive and Negative wires sodered to it; the instructions state to soder the ESC to the motor, any problems in doing this, is the capacitor needed, exactly what does the capacitor do. Thanks.

The capacitor suppresses arcing between the brushes and commutator. The arcing can be a cause of glitching. Chances are you'll see some reduced range and/or glitching under power without the capacitor.
