For 220pf cap on the Egodriver is http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Xicon/140-50P2-221K-RC/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsh%252b1woXyUXj3vaHGRyT6H%2ft86oHPmVFeE%3d the right cap? Figured out the resistors but still having trouble figuring out the cap ordering. Seems there is a ton of options and the voltage is the variable.  I'm assuming the higher the voltage the bigger the cap?

That part should work fine -- good size and lead spacing.  I usually try to spec my electrolytic caps for no more than twice the voltage they're liable to see, but ceramic disk and film caps are usually rated pretty high.

Cool Thanks! How can you tell the lead spacing?
