i have the goat system in my crawler so not to familiar with the brushed systems but a friend got the tekin fxr and the tekin 55t motor for christmas, now my question is the motor came with 3 little capacitors and they need to be soldered on but not sure where and or why there is no instructions with the motor so if anyone can help on placement and if all three need to be used or are there extras thanks in advance for any help..........P III

One capacitor from POS+ to NEG- then one capacitor from POS+ the a ground tab that bolts to the can or to the can itself. Then another from the NEG- to the same place you soldered the other from the POS+.
Here is a link to a good how to.

Though with most crawler systems you don't need them anymore.

Depending on what type of radio system you are running the capacitors can help with glitching and such.

thanks guys i got it dialed in for him and i thank you very much for the help the only problem now is the truck runs in reverse order his radio is the JR XS3 PRO model do i need to switch the motor wires he is running a dna dig i used his radio to switch the throttle from normal to reverse but it is running like it is in reverse if you go in reverse then forward you have to wait then squeeze the throttle but you can go forward to reverse without waiting and that seems backwards to me, but i have no experience with the FXR and the brushed system so if you know let me know and i will switch them just didnt want to do it without checkin so thanks again in advance.......P III
