Andy,
If I read your post correctly........ the "big" cap between the + and - post will make it go BANG in reverse. I am assuming you mean it will blow out the ESC. By big ..... I am again assuming the 0.1 cap, and the small one being the .047 cap. I have no problem with eliminating the cap between the + and - motor tabs. In fact I mentioned in my original post that Mtronics directions say: because it has reverse, DON'T use cap between the motor tabs. My concern, (because of my ignorance in eletronics), is WHICH cap should I use from the + post to case .... and -post to case? .... The .047 uF or the 0.1 uF?
