Welcome to RCTalk and thanks for joining! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to replace a built in capacitor or build a cap pack? The capacitors need to be rated for 26V or higher and the uF rating just needs to be the highest you can find. The bigger the better.

wassup, thanks for taking the time to reply. I've been into rc's for prolly 30 yrs, sorry if i seem new to the sport. i was curious about the capacitors because ( the three stock on the esc itself) i bought the esc for my 1/8th scale buggy, its a mugen. one day... i can't remeber as to why i was trying to use the momba but i thought well poop if its good enough for 6s in my buggy well hell ill throw it in my boat termporarilly. bhahahahahaaa am i dumb!! lol it lasted about 2 mins before it smoked the capacitors on it. well i managed to take the esc apart and unsolder the old ones and i wrote down what they were somewhere but ill be damned if i can find it or the capacitors anywhere. so now i have not a clue what were there originally.
The MM2 is a pretty beefy ESC. You must have one helluva boat to smoke that ESC or maybe it got wet?
I guess you have one helluva boat then lolid like to think i have a hellofa boat....had it going 69 mph. but the mm2 is nothing compared to what i usually run in my boat which is a seaking 180.
Does this help?
