yes sir! you dont need one with that high of a capacity or voltage for that matter. but it actually is a good idea to have one cause it will take out voltage spikes and drops. it will actually make you esc and motor run cooler. pn-racing makes a smaller on for mini-z, i am sure that will work on the xmod.
i went with such a large cap cause i wanted killer punch plus i will be putting 2/3a zapped KANs on it, and i wanted a cap that can handle their output

well, of course if you add more cell (more punch) any car could beat an 4 cell car. I really dont think a stock min x or x-mod can take MY enzo

-=Sorry for the thread jacking  =-
So I went out and bought a 4700uF35v capacitor from radioshack. Is that the right one? This was the only big one they had, all the others were like 100uF and smaller.
So how would I wire it up? theres 2 black wires on the right battery and one red one black on the left...

35 volts might be a bit much, mine is only 10volts you dont need to have the high capacity. the one i have is for 1/10 scale cars because i am using a 1/10 scale speed controller. you wire it up in parallel with the batteries NOT IN SERIES. the long leg is positive and the short leg is negative. hope that helps
i am not sure you should be running a 35volt cap on that thing though, i think 10 volts at most. and you dont need that high of a capacity cause it is only suppose to take out spikes...not run the car

haha I didnt notice it was 35v till I read it. Think it would be bad for it if I ran this cap through? I probably will go back and find something smaller tomorrow...
any of these look good? I couldnt find the voltage on them though, but they are cheap 
or do u know of any place where I could buy one for cheap? there arent any hobby shops near me

try glancing the opposite direction and turning hard. when you turn tap the breaks and floor it again
