I am trying to make a Radio Flyer Tesla for kids into remote controlled. So, I have bought several components (see list below) and hooked everything according to the schematic provided from the ESC (electronic speed controller). However, every time I open the throttle the wheels start to turn as expected, but after a few second one of the capacitors of the DC motors explodes. The capacitors are 47 uF 16V. The battery is a 4s battery which states that it provides 14.4 V. However, measuring the output voltage of the battery gives 16.4 V approximately. In the attached pictures the capacitor is shown just before the explosion. The second picture shows it during the explosion. The last picture shows how I connected the ESC and all the other components together.
So, does anyone know what is going wrong and why the capacitors explode every time? And how do I fix it?
