What do you think would happen if we strapped a 1000uF or 2000uF cap on there?

A capacitor in this situation is good for instantaneous power. The only way it would help in a crawler would be a burst of energy when going from a dead stop. I may put a bigger cap on later but the larger the cap the more current (this has nothing to do with voltage) there is instantly available and I have no idea what the limit is. Once you have taken off the cap does nothing so there is no sustained performance advantage...once my car is up too speed it is as if the cap is not there. It really can only help when taking off from a stop or when hitting the throttle after coasting or braking. I think it is much more suited for track use or general racing where you are on and off the throttle.
