I Just Got A 55t Lathe Motor And I Am Totaly Stuck On How To Wire It If Someone Would Be Nice Enough To Show Me Or Link Me To How To Do It I Would Like That Thanks

You wire it up just the same as any other motor. Do you have an RC with a motor wired in it already you could use for reference? Basically, the Positive wire (usually red) and the Negative wire (usually black) from the ESC go to the Positive and Negative terminals respectively on the motor.

Wiring your motor up without the caps? Yeah - you do it the exact same way, just don't add the capacitors. The capacitors aren't wired inline with the power wires or anything. You just solder your positive lead to the positive terminal, and the negative lead to the negative terminal on your motor. You can always solder the caps on afterwards, if you choose to.

ok so then what are the pros and cons of running it with/ without "caps"

Caps (capacitors) help with the electrical noise that the motor makes. You don't nescessarily need them but sometimes w/o them you get some glitching. I have no caps on my lathe but with my Futaba AM radio it glitches and with my JR fm I get no glitches.
