Nope it does not look anything like that, But its alright, the capacitor was dead, I swapped it out with a spare, that I miraculously had laying around and now it works like a champion. 

Thanks guys for the help. 

Thanks,

I control mine with a joystick. If you only have the motor, I can't help you.
