This is particularly the case for the R1/R1 Pro (I am not sure why people would want RS for off-road?) where the slotless sensorless Redline motors work very efficiently on the ESC. A real pain they are not BRCA legal. If I was changing motor to anything else, I would change power cap, at 330 millifarads the can they supply is not a lot for other motors.
I've run the supplied cap on my cars since running the R1 and now use them on the RS with no problem at all (and thats having used LRP/ PEAK and tekin motors). Speedo caps aren't there to give you more power, just smooth out the spikes to let the speedo run cooler and reduce the risk of damage to the FETS.

Not quite sure why you wouldn't want an RS for offroad... the R1 worked really well for a sensorless speedo and i had some good results with it but the RS is the best of both worlds.... faultlessly smooth starts and the safety of defaulting to sensorless if a sensor should fail.
