FXR Capacitor???

[draper_88]

I was wondering if anybody new what size of capacitor I needed for the Tekin FXR ESC. One of mine broke and I was wondering if I can just go to Radio Shack and get one. If so what size?? Also I have seen people running on Cap on to ESCs do I just double the size or is the some math i need to do to figure it out. Thanks for any help

This Heavy Duty capacitor is twice the size of the original FXR capacitor and also made of better quality. It will handle 4S Lipo batteries but Crawler Innovations does not guarantee anything. With that said, I personally use them on every FXR I own. I do run 4S on them and have no issues. To me, it's cheap insurance to prevent a failure. My son blew the stock cap on his FXR and I had to send his FXR back to Tekin for repair. After the stock Tekin FXR ESC failure, I researched and found these capacitors and have been using them ever since with no FXR failures to report. This product is made in Japan.

Crawler Innovations sells them for $3 each.Here is a link to the current web site:

Radio shack does sell them if you need them now, I'm not sure of the quality but it shouldn't be much different.

thanks for the help guys. Now with that Cap that you posted could I run both my FXRs off of it, or would I still need 1 for each speed control.
