I am basically electronics illiterate. I have 2 sources saying different choices for capacitors for my brushed motor. This motor came in the Sea Queen kit. The book says it is a Caldercraft motor, nominal voltage 12 V, operating range 6-24, (I am using a sealed 12 V batt.). No load current (A): 0.4, Current at nominal voltage (A): 5.0, stall current 20.3 Amps. The ESC directions, a MTronics Viper 20, say there is no need for a capacitor between the + and - posts since this model has reverse. OK....... They say to use 2 motor capacitors, (0.1uF).... one from the negative terminal to the can, and one from the positive terminal to the can.
The other fairly reliable source says to use (2) capacitors, (as above), to the can, but use .047uF (Micro Farad).[] Since I have no idea about this, can one of you fellas that is an electric guru help?
Thanks in advance,
