i was looking at my brothers a-bb, and i noticed something... one of the ends of one of the capacitors isnt touching anything. it has solder on the end, but its not connected to the motor case like the other capacitor is. is that what its supposed to look like?

it should be soldered to the can like the other, they often get knocked off by contact. the car will still run but without the capacitor the motor "noise" will interfere with the reciever and cause the car to glitch more than normal. that's the theory behind the capacitors anyway, often the car runs fine with one disloged but play it safe and resolder.
