Default ESC Capacitor

I'm new to RC and have a question regarding the capacitor on the ESC. I run a Tekin RSX in a 17.5 buggy. I was wondering if I could run the Honbywing cap instead of the stock Tekin cap. Reason being I cant position the cap properly. It's big and its "legs" don't give it much room to move. Also, I want to run the fan so positioning it on top of the ESC won't work.

The Tekin cap says 330uF. The Hobbywing cap says 470uF and there are 4 caps in series. Both say 16v. So, will this damage the ESC?

Thank you all in advance
