Hi I have two sf240 pro escs and my 60" boat is just about finished, I followed the directions supplied by Hifei and purchased a cap bank in the OSE store here.

Thing is as you can see in the picture the tabs on the capacitor system are setup for TWO negative, TWO positive esc wires. Apparently the new Hifei escs have two pos/ two neg wires, unlike my sf240. Anyway is there anyway I can still use this system? I wasn't sure if I could just bridge the gap on the board with the wire and solder it into place? I can solder no problem and have a good setup for the big 8 gauge wires, I'm just not sure what to do in this situation. In the link I supplied the 2nd picture shows the two positive and negative tabs. Thanks for your help.

No need to bridge the tabs, they are already connected. Just use one of the negative and one of the positive tabs. Or you can even 'split' the ends of the (big) 8ga wires and use both tabs on each polarity if that gives you more room to solder.
