Do you still have the capacitor or did you remove it as well?

Ebay is your best bet. They are hard to find as more people are figuring out what they are and what they are capable of.

I got one a few months ago on ebay for $63 shipped. Works awesome , just have to disable the "live-link" on the advanced tab in the castle link software for it to calibrate. Running it with the new Holmes Hobbies TrailMaster brushless motor.

Check out the Losi rebadged esc. Same thing. SCTE RTRs came with them.

Cool.
I tried hooking a 4s up to mine without the cap just to see if it would recognize it. No luck. Oh well.

This has been hacked and is the same as the mmp software wise. I tried it on my et-3s this morning. Now castle link says it's a mmp and it now arms on 6s.
Instructions here: 'Genuine' Castle Firmware on Traxxas or other re-branded Castle ESCs


Very easy.
