JL> A few weeks ago I saw some messages about capacitors for electric motors. 
 
JL> got a Tamiya 4WD S-10 for Christmas and I was wondering if it would be
JL> beneficial to install one on the motor.  I am using the stock 540 motor 
and
JL> mechancal speed control.  I would appreciate any advice since this is my
JL> first kit and I don't have much experience in R/C yet.
Its not really nessecary with a mechanical speed control, although it 
certainly couldn't hurt...but if you upgrade to an esc, it will be nessecary, 
along with schokkity diodes (or however its spelled)..
