    Capacitors for 280 motor

    Hi from Madrid. My 1/144 SEAWOLF is fitted with one of older Mr. Merriman's WTC. It's gonna be almost impossible to convince the one that rules (my wife) to purchase the new one.
    I had to change the motor and don't remember if it has capacitors installed and their type, and due to this I'm having "glitching" problems with it.
    Anyone can help me?:wink:

    Regards

    J.C. Jorquera.

      capacitors for drive motors

      Thank you for your quick response, Mr Merriman. But, How are they soldered in place? Is ti possible to have a picture about?

        Two capacitors, each soldered to a motor pole and to the motor case (ground).

        The picture below shows the two capacitors attached to a LPB motor. Not to worry, it's the same arrangement for the propulsion motor -- by the way, the Cap's are not needed on the LPB motor if you use Kevin McLeod's electronic switch.
