Hi All

I want to replace my capacitors for my motors and I would like to know what size or type should I use? These will go on the standard motors that came with the tri track chassis.

Thanks for your time

The capacitors i believe are just to dampen any interference.

i believe it’s 0.1uf capacitors ceramic capacitors.
you’d want 3 per motor, one from each lead to the motor casing, and 1 between the two leads.

My old electric helicopter used a very powerful motor, but even then it used 0.1uf ceramic capacitors. i actually use some of those on my tracked robot. since the helicopter only flew for about 30 seconds before i crashed it.
