OK I've obviously heard wrong on that. Pardon me. I agree it could easily be that I am incorrect.

Still the point is that I have read meny people simply removing capacitors and saying it is not needed to replace them.

If they are meant to balance out the energy...isn't modern day electricity delivered in a more evenly balanced fashion? Are they still needed? Are RC cars and other things with similar motors wired with capacitors for noise suppression?

I am only asking questions here to learn so please understand I am not trying to be deliberately argumentative.
