    Thanks Ray.
    I apologize if my spiel was over the top .. the benefits can be lost if detail ignored, IME.
    Yes, the 5xcap ETTI bank ( here at OSE) is parallel. Ideal for any application. If you have a high rpm ( +45k rpm) and/or use a high demand motor, the parallel cap banks are limited in energy turnaround ( still charging when esc demands more.. )
    All this being said, many people have successfully run sets without the circuit in this post..
    Flashbulb circuits are similar the established circuit for cap banks.. FLASH, then recharge... FLASH, then recharge.FLASH, recharge, and so on ..
    The circuit detailed above would deliver a smaller Flash, but allows more frequent releases ( 8 fold ) equating a nett higher turnaround per second.

    Ive been archived ? . wow, now Im preserved for eternity !

    YOu oviously make good sense from what I read.

    I would guess the Etti cap bank is all parellel ? Since only 5 caps...?

    Hello . This is starting to be beyond me technically at this point. I just want to ask a few quick questions from the start of the post. I’ll Try to keep it short
    I wonder , how will a ESC performe if the caps are getting bad ?

    I’m asking since My T180 ( 2+ years) is feeling a bit strange, like it's not 'opening up' I hit 100% throttle, and it feels like just 75% if you get me. (and yes I have re prog. It)
    The caps looks fine, no bulging ore leak’s, but last year I did some 5s runs with my leo 4074 2000kv and the caps got really hot(x442 prop 45-90c lipos) so I thought about a cap bank, but never got around to get one before end of sess. Last year ( I did only a few packs of 5s, running on 4s most) . Well I have one now, the one ( ose cap bank) mentioned by tlandauer.

    Anyway, the strange feel of the ESC I talked about came after I did some run with a new 4074 2150kv + 65-130c Lipo’s This year . I got some heat problem to (desolder of the + wire towards the ECS on the serial cabel 3 times)only with the 65-130c. But the heat on the caps/ecs motor were all fine.
    But I thought about last years’s 5s runs and thought maybe the caps are saying goodbye.

    If I boil it down the this:
    How should I know if the caps are getting bad, and how should I hook up the ose cap bank , when stated in the first post not remove the existing cap’s. Did you get around doing you’re yet Tlandauer.

    Thanks

    In my case my caps were swelling, I knew it was time for me to replace the stock ones which was just what I did, the same found here: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...v-1000&cat=123
    I took them out, my thread is found here : https://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...C-CAPS-bulging!
    I wanted to add a bank however, so I asked drwayne all those questions. Much to my regret, I don't have any room to attach the bank on the power wires, so I did what I could, it looks like your pictures. I must say for me to use this bank is over kill since my application is for 4s set up only. If I could fabricate a bank myself I would use the replacement caps, they are smaller. Here is a picture of what I did:001Cap Bank for Seaking 180.jpg
    I think anytime you suspect the caps are not up to their job, replacing them is never a bad idea. However, while the bulged caps were still on the ESC, I did not see any degrading in performance, but swelling caps are time bombs so I replaced them immediately. I am not knowledgeable enough to tell you what if anything is wrong with your ESC, but if the caps are visually good, maybe something else needs to be considered.
    By the way, if original caps are not in top shape, they NEED to be replaced, adding a bank over half-dead original ones is not a sound solution. What drwayne said was the seller removed ALL the original ones and just added a bank, if I understood correctly.

    It has been a thought of mine for some time that why mosty Suppo esc's burn up is most likely due to faulty caps they buy in massive quantities not caring if they are way out of spec or just not made right at all. I mean, the fets on Suppos are a discontinued fet in USA that was shipped in container loads to China like many other obsoulete electronic components.

    A while back I grabbed a near new HK SS100 esc and the cap wires nearly fell off from inside the caps?? I replaced the caps with blue 1000uF 35V-130* Rubycon RX30's right onto the board. It works very well now.

    I remember Etti used to use the Suppo base board BUT, they used the blue Rubycon's instead.... wonder why.

    1. remove and replace all the onboard caps.
    2. or, you can remove those onboard caps without replace, providing you add extra close by
    3. Bad caps cause major draw from batteries = heat = melting things..
    4. slow performance likely due those ld caps having a draw demand on batts, not feeding so much to esc.
    5. caps do have a limited lifespan in high yield applications.. overheating them is terminal.

    Dr wayne and T landauer( do I see a Geico ? :-) ), thanks for the info.

    I took out the t180 just now and snapped a few photos. Don't know if they have leaked ore if it's just becuase I did a poor job of drying it properly after I had a leak in the boat , but I will replace them.
    So, just to make sure. Remove the 3 stock ones all together, and just solder the cap plate directly onto the T180, ore do I make a small gap with 8-10-12 G wires ?

    I wonder if this will help on speed. It's like the boat have had a small amount of brake on the last times I have been out. I eveen felt slower with the 2150kv compared to the 2000kv I had in it before. Not that it has anything to do with caps (maybe) but here is a video of a pnp mystic I have set up for a friend, and my geico . We both run ose flex, T180 esc 45-90c lipo 642 prop and and the hull is the same so they should performe likewise. but the mystic smoked me. At firts he not floring it so be patient :-)

    You should first remove the old ones and solder replacement ones into the old holes so to speak. Take a look at the polarity before you do this, the trick is to have a helper firmly hold your ESC because you need to pull those with one hand while the other still holding the solder iron tip to heat the cap wires. On each of the cap I pull on polarity wire at a time, ---Don't over heat electronics. ( realistically you can't heat both + & - at the same time. yes, there is some twisting and yanking).
    I shortened my Batt. to ESC wires prior to attaching the Cap Bank, therefore I deprived myself the chance of having enough wire INFRONT OF the ESC for directly mounting the Cap Bank. The hull of the Geico, yes it is MG!! is too shallow. I then had to add short pieces of wires between the Cap Bank and the ESC. Solder the wires under the main posts of the ESC---scrape the factory coating off first or you will have a hard time for the new solder to form a good contact.
    Your third picture is exactly what I did, bridging the two with short 14g wires. But, if you can attach the Cap Bank on the main wires as drwayne recommands, it will be more efficient.
    I used 14g wire only because I did not want to over heat the underside of the ESC main terminal, larger gauge wire is better, but if you look at the T-180 V3, their factory Cap bank is attached with very THIN wire, therefore I think 14g is enough.

    Default What's the Bottom Line ?

    Amigo's,

    I appreciate all the info and discussion on this important subject, but frankly I'm somewhat embarrased to admit that I can't readily distill the information offered into a simple, practical application realm. Is there a formula or application chart that would summarize how to choose/add capacitors for any given application given parameters that include battery voltage, esc capacity, motor pole/rpm considerations ? This might have been discussed before, but here might be a good time for a refesher course. In my honor it could be called "Capacitor Education for Electrically Challanged Dummies"

    I don't think your slowing down has anything to do with the caps. Internal resistance as the contact gets unsoldered? Anyway, good video, enjoyed watching it. Also I realized you are an soldering expert so please do not take my long winded too seriously!

    Well I have made a tread about the unsoldering stuff, and got so my ears hung down for my poor a.. soldering job. I have been soldering for ages, some 200 playstation chips, loads of para/serial connections, lipo packs etc for my boat's and flying buddy's, but all of a sudden my serial cabel wich I had used for a long time came unsoldered. Then I made another one with higher G wire, all fine on 45-90c lipo, and then on 65-130c unsolder again, and the boat feels slow so I'm willing to try everything to see if it helps.

    Anybody care to tell me what these little buggers do. One of them was 'eaten' on a bit, and was loose. No way I'm getting it to stick to the board again. So is it a rip on this 180 ?

    I'm sure it'll be fine doc, As discussed on the phone, this speedo being made an example of had two caps that swelled a little on my very first day driving an fe boat. The DF35 (bomber boat) was my first boat, first build and first time driving a fe boat and as seen on the video made of my first ever run, the flex shaft was offline a tad causing vibrations and rubbing, add to the fact I'd never heard one of these boats so I didn't know the difference and drove it till the shaft went BANG. After retreiving the boat I took more video footage of the esc and caps and on advice removed the caps from the board and replaced them with the etti cap bank. This speedo has been this way for every run and video made of my df35, being my first boat and trying to learn how to trim, I had someone take video footage everytime I ran the boat, here's the Running history of the esc
    first run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK0ITqCORmQ
    2nd test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C-o7MV5Ifk
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfVDJW6UXCs

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3vG0-_GcqA
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNXsKogxces

    The boat was stripped down and became the bomber boat and never driven again due to the expensive graffiti put on the boat on Febuary 6th. I pulled the electronics back out and put the boat in a custom glass/mirror case, this being said, I'm sure the speedo is fine.

    Initial charge of the 6 caps is same as if all were individually charged

    OMG Ive written and rewritten this a few times and each time I start expanding on referenced detail that loses most people.

    simply..
    In this circuit, the charge/discharge speed is 8x the std , thus smoothing the DC line ripple more effectively ... even though the energy return availability is 705/2820 ( std6 caps ) .. it presents 8x speed of charge/return into of those original individual 6 caps.. gives us twice the total energy available, at a far higher return rate than std. ( 705 x 8 / 2820 )
    In the 15S300A5698/910 example I used a total of 1410uF as detailed here, and logged ripple <0.19Vdc.
    Unfiltered, ripple measured >1.6Vdc .. but I didnt enjoy the lacklustre performance so I went home...
    I use cap banks as detailed to cover both yield(battery recharges the caps) and reply(esc demand on power system) needs of the system.
    ------
    I read above .. What is DC ripple ? . When the esc fires a phase, it draws energy from the 'energy sump' .( DC batteries ).. this causes a sudden voltage drop evidenced by a blip on the voltage display of your oscilloscope.
    Each 3 firings ( a rotation of the motor ) makes 3 tiny blips ..... eg at 30,000rpm there are 90,000(at least) tiny blips.. a ripple .. an induced frequency.....EMF inciting ESR .....
    This ripple.. creates an AC that is not usable by the DC-AC inverter (ESC) thus the esc now sees lower voltage...V x Kv - zoomzoom
    Capacitor banks reduce the size of that ripple, the esc sees higher nett voltage = more fun.

    If the cap bank is too large, it will induce it's own ripple as it recharges.


    Would I recommend this type of cap array if asked .. depends on your application.
    Im sure to edit this once Ive seen it in a fullscreen.. and read it as a mini-novel.

    'How looooooooooooooooooooong are your leads ?'


    hehe, I have both (now) while I did some new ones I did both a short and a longer one. I'll make a super short one and flip the lipos the other way with the wires comming out closer to the ESC.

    Question, again, how about making the serial like it is on the stock esc that comes with the proboat mystic/geico.. Will it mess up the cell count( I don't use auto) you think , since it's a bit hard to plug both lipos at once if I make the serial on the ESC. Go bullet you say. Well I like the safety having a serial cabel made.

    Will make a zoom pic when back from work. But it has a grove into it where there should be a tiny solder point.

    Dean's connectors ( and clones ) are best suited under 4S 80A.. they gain resistance under high load ( they heat up quickly )

    Your series connectir great.. for a low draw setup.
    try something like this attached for shorter total lead length. fewer plugs.. and use 5.5mm plugs for higher Tx with lower dTemp.

    Waiting for your pic !

    I use ec5 on all. I use deans in my 1/16 tanks only :-)

    I have looked at the bullet type connection you have a draving off there, I'm afraid it will blow up on me when I mess it up ( it will happend :-)

    If you cannot solder 5.5mm bullets, your friends are correct about your soldering technique !
    If you're worries about plugging it together wrong. pay attention!
    and ..
    batteries ...
    female5.5 on battery positive
    male5.5 on negative.

    esc
    positive is male5.5
    negative 5.5female

    whatever number of series cells you use.. they will all 'daisy chain' together to feed your esc.
    Just be wary that last inline connection .. ZAP!

    It's good keeping some topical posts on this thread.. keeps it at top !
    and some others may gain help from the info.

    are you mokking me ? hehe :-) I can solder bullets. it's what you say next, '' If you're worries about plugging it together wrong. pay attention!''

    I know how it's done, it's just bullet proof with serial, and the system I have is not like a SAW boat so it should be ok. Maybe in the winter month's here in Norway I will sit down and convert over to bullets.

    You should "bullet proof with bullets" drwayne is right, I made the change and never looked back. When I connect, I make sure my ex-wife is not around so my mind is in sound condition.
    By the way, that thing fell from you ESC, the close up picures look like it fell from outter space. I too want to know what is it. I am learning alot from this post!

    I hope someone with a T180 can supply us with the details as embossed on their undead Surface mount capacitors .... ??

    That being said.. a 47pf ceramic cap would do nicely as an alternative.. ensure the existing remnant(s) are removed before you add new.
