i have a novak brushless system too and i was wondering whats up with that huge capacitor on the battery wires. i had read somewhere that its supposed to help the performance of the esc. for some reason when i pull hard on the trigger my car kinda sputters before taking off. i read trouble shooting on it and it says it might be the capacitator. my esc still has one on it and it doesn't look damaged. have you ever experienced this before?
