RE: Tail motor RF capacitor
The capacitor removes/absorbs 'noise' interference, created by your Tmotor, from bugging your system.
I'm not sure about yours, but most Tmotors I have seen carry a very small 104 rated capacitor, usually yellow and oblong, sometimes round.
The 104s are quite common, Radio Shack has them, they are orange or brown.
You most likely have several dozen of them around the house, stuck in various pieces of equipment. Toys with electric motors often have these installed.
These capacitors have no polarity, so you may install them any way. When you solder it on make sure to solder one arm to the positive post and the other to the negative post and then bend the remainder of that arm on to the motor casing, and solder it there also. The less amount of the arms that you use, the more effect the capacitor will have. Trim off any excess.
