It would be hard to find room for a 1-2 farad 35V capacitor in an 1/8th scale.
But yes, extra capacitance cant hurt, and in some cases will be a very good thing.
HOWEVER, using it as a band-aid for insufficient batteries isn't a good idea -- just get batteries that can handle the load (better fix...)
