I have 2 gtb's and don't run the cap on either, but I did see that Charlie S. from Novak posted on this website that you should run them.

I don't run the cap on the 4300 or fan.

This is what Charlie sent me about the cap:

You probably could use a smaller cap, but you loose some performance and gain some heating.

The Power Cap is there to help the ESC cope with Ripple Current effects that are created by high speed ESC switching. Anytime the ESC is switching on and off, the power wants to keep flowing, the cap catches this and feeds it back to the motor when the mosfet turns on again. So it charges and discharges EVERYTIME the ESC switches. This is all the time with BL, so a good cap is very important.

The circuit board has what are called, “transorb” diodes. These items are like voltage “clamps” if you will. When a big spike comes through the system (usually from the motor), the transorb clamps on to prevent the spike from damaging the ESC and the cap. It kills the spike essentially. If you do got to a smaller cap, you have to KEEP the transorb board. Again, we don’t recommend smaller caps
