Big caps have slower "discharge" rates than smaller caps. If you really think those extra electrons make a difference then you should make up an array of smaller caps instead eg multiple 1000ufs in parallel.
Varying size of cap may change the "feel" depending who you ask, but this is quite subjective. Difference is about the same as changing the drive frequency of ESC... but end result is it ain't gonna double your topspeed.
yes thats right
the cap accross the battery allows the motor to draw more power for better acceleration as well, the ones on the motor are to stop glitching as well
