    should i add caps to my t180?

    is it recommended to add caps to my seaking 180a esc? im installing this esc in my ul1 and running it on 6s with a tacon 1700kv and starting with a y536 then if temps dont bit*h me out ill up the prop to m440. should i add caps to the t180? if so, how do i do this?
    If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?

                ohh 1 side of the contacts on the bottom of the board goes on the neg wire of esc, and the other on pos (respectively) correct? and this aids in doing what?

                  Obviously I am talking about your ESC and you never stated that you do not have it yet other than in your last respond #7.....

                  If your yet to come ESC will have 3 x 35V, 1000uF caps you shoud be save becouse these are the new caps they are installing on them.
                  If you still go ahead and decide to put more caps you can see what I did here ( other than Etti board ):

                    make sure to solder the etti board correctly.
                    Polarity is very important i found.
                    did mine wrong and it was like the 4th of july in my living room...lol
