Welcome to the forums!

Yes, you can use as many caps as you want. However, make sure those 1000uf caps are low-ESR types. Just look for the 105*C temperature rating on them. If they are 85*C, they won't work.

Also, the more capacitance you add, you are going to get a bigger arc wihen hooking the batteries up to the ESC. You can use a "no spark" mod if that bothers you (use the R/C Calc link in my sig, and then click the no spark link).
