    ...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 ( )..I always 'felt' that there was a benefit but one of our techs could probably give you the correct 'data'...Hope this helps

    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

    ...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.
