I am about to tackle this cap bank install and I'm still a little concerned about a few things;
The standard caps on the sf240hv are 63v 330uf x 6= 1980
The Etti cap bank is 63v 1000uf x 5= 5000
Easy option: I leave all the standard caps, including the two that are swallen and discolored on and just attach the cap bank to the battery wires near the solder on the esc. -? Will this be to much capacitance @ 6980uf and will the stock damaged caps go boom sometime soon creating me more headache?
Next option: Remove the inner row of stock caps, including the two damaged and still add the cap bank at the solders from the esc to battery wires. This would give less capacitance @ 5990uf. If so, how do I take this esc apart so I can get into the solders or to even cut the inner row out and if I do get it out will I need to keep that row active from side to side due to the upper/outer row of caps seeming to having a white connection block joining the upper and lower row?
Third option: remove all 6 standard caps and add the etti cap bank to the very bottom at the solder of the esc to battery wires giving a total of 5000uf. Once again, if I do this I would still like to know how to take this esc apart and if the removed cap rows would have to remain active to complete the connection from batteries to esc?
Last option: I give up and take up lawn bowls

Please help
(I'm just starting to like this hobby and white just doesn't suit me.)
