I have one the new seaking 180amp esc that comes with a small capacitor pack added to it. I also have a castle creations capacitor Pack. Question is...which would be better? Just using the pack that came on it? Or taking that one off and using the castle pack, if so is ok to just snip off the wires attaching the stock pack. And lastly could I just ad the castle pack and use both? Or does none of it make any difference?

Thanks!

I'd use both. Snip off the "extra" caps, solder on the Castle caps, then resolder the "extra" caps back on.

The more caps the better. A few in our club are running over multiple banks of 20 caps each to assure the ESCs Low Voltage Cutoff dosen't cut in when accelerating, and to smoothe out amp/voltage spikes. Makes it a lot easier on the ESC. JIM:spy:
