I have a Trinity Speed Gem Pro Amber 17T double motor in my car. I drove it as is, until the stock esc fried from a puddle splash.

Now I have a DuraTrax 16T ESC and it came with three capacitors. I noticed my stock motor had capacitors but the Trinity one does not (atleast visible to me).

Do I need to solder the three on? If not, what happens?

Thanks

Yes you need to install the caps. They dramaticly reduce arching between the com. and brushes. there by increasing both brush life and com. life

You should put them on, they help with glitching.

did some research... these motors already have capacitors installed

mmkain

yeah they're internal, most better class 540's have them.

Yep, my DuraTrax 12T Modified ESC always worked with Team Orion motors with internal capacitors just fine. Probably, it should be the same story for your motor. The only time my ESC glitched was when I tried powerpole connectors...
