Thanks for the other answers though!

A cap on the servo would be useless...it would slow steering response and i dont think the jitter in xmod servos is from noise. A bigger cap on the motor would smooth throttle response but i see it as useless. More could be done with smoother finger control and besides that when you nailed the throttle you would actually lose some acceleration as the cap would have to be charged from the same power source you are trying to feed the motor with. And yes...the only advantage would come from putting a cap on the board at the battery connections (I have done this and posted about it...look up experimenting)
