um, no. The cap is either screwed down or clamped. After checking that, your timing is probably way out so check that as well and then tighten that hold down bolt.
Unless this is a joke in which case you got me :D

No move, be sure to unplug the ESC before setting the timing. Set it to 6* base. Then unhook your battery, plug the esc back together, hook the battery up and all should be fine. :cheers:
