    The newer one has a much larger cap than the first version

      I believe the newer controller has a 1500uf capacitor. The older version's smaller capacitor was more prone to blowing if pushed too hard.

          I am sure that is the older esc in other tread. Look how much bigger the Capacitor is on the new one.

          Old one on left new one on right.
