| Capacitor Cans
I had to re-solder one wire on my Capacitor Can hiding under the shrink wrap on my LCC. My ESC is a Losi Xcelorin with the big blue capacitor can. Has anyone ever tried running 2 cans instead one? I may order a replacement can because I am not sure if I damaged mine when causing the wire to fry itself in two. I don't know why it burnt the wire but fixing it seemed to solve my studdering problem for the time being. I wonder if it's safe to run 2 cans for that extra boost of power when it's called for ? And if it's o.k to try this I wonder whats the best way to wire the 2 capacitor cans to give the best results?

as long as you run them in parallel (negative to negative positive to positive) wont be a problem

We used to (and still do) run double caps in TC modified. It helps keep the ESC a little tiny bit cooler and helps a little on the brakes. That's using 5T to 3T motors.
