The truth about Capacitors!

[RedSXmodder]

I did some searches on your capacitor trick, and I learned alot. But I have a few questions.

1) If the capacitor is farther away from the board, what are the negative effects? I don't think it'd be too noticeable, unless you really know the powers of the capacitor your using, right?

2) The capacitor fills, and discharges, many times a second, is there a way that could cause jumpiness in response (lowering smoothness and control ever so slightly) or becuase its connected to the battery it would have nothing to do with it?

3) Say I wan't my xmod as smooth as a mini-Z, would putting capacitors on the battery, servo, and motor create excellent, smooth response?

4) Does the size of the capacitor create different filtering effects? I know that the bigger the one on the battery section would be better, but if you had a smaller one on the motor and servo would it still be able to filter as well or better then a bigger one, or is the bigger one better?

I know putting a capacitor on the servo wouldn't do much, since its only being used when that particular function has battery power going through it (along with the motor) but it still should filter electrical noise on the servo motor. Also, would you be able to put a capacitor near the board by the servo and use that as a torque effect, and then have a capacitor up on the motor acting as a filtering effect.

I guess I'm kinda asking the same question over and over again, but, I'm learing alot about this whole thing...
