An easy one to find are some low-esr caps on ebay... find some 16v and less than 1000uF, that should be quite small enough.

I can a test to using caps for getting some more punch from your system... check my sig. for a link to pics of my modded Quark with 6 caps on a nice bank soldered directly to the Quark power board. I definitely felt a difference in smoothness, and driving power; it was also much harder to make the system cog as it became apparent when driving up steep embankments/big rocks. And it also ran VERY cool, but maybe, just maybe that was partly because of the massive heatsink (or heat-toilet) attached to the FETs.
