Capacitors???

[Coors]

Use them or not. Are they must or not important?

Also I have read that it might matter how a motor is wired as far a forward and reverse. Is there a wrong way and a right way? one way better then the other?

Thanks for any info

A lot of people don't have any problems running thier motors without capacitors in crawlers. But they are cheap and it is an easy thing to do, so I say why not?

Wiring your motor correctly is important if the motor is timed. But lathe motors are set at zero timing, so in that instance it dosen't matter - as long as you wire it so it spins the way you need it to (unless you have a radio that can reverse the throttle channel - then if it spins the wring way, you can just flip a switch).

Thanks for that info. It helps a lot. I will use the capacitor then and I will just wire the motor up. I am using a traxxas controler form my revo and has the switch to flip if it si backwards.

Thanks again
