Default Schottky diode??

I've just bought an MSonik Tempo 15 ESC to use with my RS545 motor and 7.2v 1800mAH batt.

Now the installation instructions say...

"...you MUST run an 8A Schottky Diode on the motor"

What does that mean? It also says I need to put 0.1 microF caps from the motor terminals to the can, which I understand.

Where do I put the Schottky and which way round?
