You know how DC motors make sparks that ca interfere with RC radio gear?

The way to fix this is to put capacitors on the leads.
That's as much as I know.

I am planning on running 2 550 sized motors @ 24v.
They are very very similar to these:

What type of caps do I need, what (whatever value caps are ratted in) do I need, and how do I set them up?

Thanks LPF!

You will need to put a .01uF to .1uF (@ 50 to 100 volt rating) ceramic
capacitor across the + and - leads as well as another of the same type
from + lead to the motor case and a third same capacitor from the - lead
to the motor case...
