One way is to change the timing of the esc with the push of a button, which can be possible with the right programming. Blheli32 esc’s can probably do it if programmed. And now we have opensource Am32 esc’s which can be programmed to work for rc cars. Another way is with a power booster device that has a bunch of capacitors in it. It is connected between the esc and battery and the pwm cable connects to any open channel on the receiver. There are a few companies that make these. One of them being Turnigy. Search for Turnigy Enos In-Line Power Booster.
Both ways you list to "push to pass" would most certainly be illegal in most classes we race. In the second scenario, how do you get a capacitor bank to supply more voltage than the battery it is connected to? Once you deplete the small amount of charge in them, the battery must be used to charge them back up... the same battery that is running your car, so that power is diverted away from powering your car optimally to charging capacitors.
