...I always put them on...I used little square turqouise-blue ones labelled 104 (i think, dont shoot me if thats wrong), I love the smell of solder after midnight ;)

...I usually put on THREE; one on the positive leg to the can and one on the negative leg to the can...I also put one more BETWEEN the legs ( :eek: )..I always 'felt' that there was a benefit but one of our techs could probably give you the correct 'data'...Hope this helps :o

You need them otherwise you'll get interference on your radio... I just removed mine from the stock motor.

any tips on reducing rf interference from the mamba 25? my receiver is so big it is kinda hard to keep it far away.

...you can get them at your LHS but true..you dont REALLY need them...i havent had trouble WITHOUT them...But i ALSO havent had trouble WITH them ;) I just like the smell of solder burning through the foam in my chair :D

...Matt mine are right beside each other with ZERO problems...I dont think you will have a problem...

That's interesting... Are you all using AM radios?

It is less of a problem with FM and not a problem with Spektrum.

40 mhz FM here... Mamba25 on the rear deck and RX on top of servo tray. never had any problems what so ever :)

what receiver are you using? i have a MX3 but an old receiver from a magnum. it glitches when i come close to the car. if im not careful the car will take off. i had my mini t do that on my hand, i had a crispy black hand after that :( . i think i will put the receiver on the servo plate, it sounds like a good idea.

are you sure that the receiver is compatible with the transmiter? I have a Futaba 3PJ with a 75 module on it and it works awesome so the 75 frequence shouldnt be the issue there ;)
