Default Diodes on motors- is it necessary?

Hi,
I have an Everest 10 and one of the suggested upgrades is to change the motor. I purchased an axial 27 turn and saw there are no diodes soldered to the motor. There are on the stock motor.

Can I just install the new motor without soldering diodes?

Thanks

I believe you're talking about capacitors, not diodes.

Don't need the capacitors.

Sorry, yes capacitors.

Do I need to resolder them to the new motor?

I believe those were just to help with radio interference on analogue radios.
