Title: help fitting suppressors
Post by: surabaya on January 13, 2013, 10:14:09 pm

Hi, I got a 400 motor which came with 2 suppressors. Can someone tell me where and how to fit them.
I have read a few posts , but they seem to say you need 3. I know it`s probably easy if you know how.

The usual way is to use three, but as you only have two then I would suggest one across the terminals and one from the terminal to the case.

The alternative is get another one and fit it between the other terminal and the case.

Hope this helps

That's where the third capacitor comes in.      :}

For now, it doesn't matter, nor makes a vast difference.

Cheers
