When I use my stock motor, my radio works fine. When I use my modified 23 turn, my radio glitches a little. Strange huh? Could it be my motor?

What motor/controller, etc. Some controllers require that the motor have capacitors. It would help to know what you have.

NO WAY! Now I have this wierd thing that when i get on the throttle, the servo suddenly jerks one direction and then goes back to normal. and this happens EVERYTIME i accelerate from a standstill
AAAAHH HELP!

All radios require caps on the motor. Some are built into the endbell, most are soldered on externally.

I think the TEU101 is only officially rated for a 27 turn motor. Is it possible that the ESC is dropping power to the receiver under the load of a 23 turn motor? If the motors are geared the same, the 23 turn will pull more current...

how do I know if my motor has a capacitor? what does it look like?

here are some pics of my titan, the little round tan things are what their talking about. some times there are 2-3 of them. but like he said, many modified motors dont come with them installed, though the trinity motor i got had them included in the package. you should be able to get some from radio shack i would think.
your original motor should have them, if so, use that motor to figure out how to put ones on your modified motor. i did this and it worked for me.
good luck.

what do they do anyway? Thanks for the advice every1

losi motor man

stops a spike of amperage that may make other electronics on the rc go a lil bit crazy. its also known as a power leak . hope this helps you

can I buy capacitors seperately? and if so, how do I install them to my modified motor? Thanks for the advice so far everyone
