    Also someone reminded me that its very important to treat these like explosives. While at a race I witnessed a taped hatch exploded far into the air from a capacitor explosion. So if there are ANY signs of deformation of the cap, get rid of it.

      I work on a lot of analog audio gear, with very large caps often times. Caps are very dangerous when failing, so replace when suspect!

        Those car audio caps are gigantic! I couldn't imagine one of those blowing up!

            Another reason to install these cap-banks :
            If you just CAN'T keep the wiring between cells and motor/motor and esc short.

              So how many have successfully run these on a Hydra 240LV? I'm thinking about adding one.

                Steven, I don't deal with car audio. I'm talking both recording and sound reinforcement environments. I've even worked on a few Neve and Amek consoles.

                  I see OSE now stocks the new Etti HV cap banks for up to 8S. Any one installed them yet and they look huge, are they? Are they installed the same way as the normal one?
