Default ? about caps on Tekin 55 turn motor

I just got my FSX/55t combo from RC Planet. I went to install it into my crawler, but the instructions do not even mention the 3 caps that were included with the motor. I know that they are for glitching, but I'm not 100% about how to orient them before I solder them into place.

Can anyone help with a pic?

Thanks!

If you plan on using a 2.4 GHZ radio then you won't need the caps. If you are wanting to use a 75 MHZ radio then you will want to use them.

A cap goes from each motor terminal to the motor case. The last cap goes between each motor terminal.

Here's a good writeup on wiring the caps up... Installing Motor Capacitors

So your saying the caps are infective and unnecessary with 2.4 GHZ radio system?
