Extra capacitors to help it work more efficiently.

HK must have added the extra caps. They are not shown in the picture on the website

yeah I have got 2 this year, both have the extra caps.

Why are they on such a long lead wire?

Why are they on such a long lead wire?

Most of the vendors did not bother to update their web pictures, but it's been like this for over a year or two, it is from the factory, both Seaking and Turnigy are really Hobbywing products.
I don't know why the wires are so thin and why this particular length, but this allows me to tuck this cap bank neatly behind the big ones or "wedge" it between the big ones and the heatsink. I use either zip tie or electrical tape the immobilize the cap bank.

...as if a bank of caps attached with 22 gauge Christmas lights wire is going to offer any reserve surge current.
