Electrically, I'm sure any bit helps. But realistically, you run into placement/mounting issues. Also, if the caps are soldered somehow to the ESC, the weight of bus bars and the caps themselves would place considerable stress on the PCB. And, at some point, you get very little return for the work/expense. If you already have twenty 500uF caps (10,000uF), adding 4 more to get 12,000uF isn't helping a whole heck of a lot.

I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing a TVS device on the Quark. Of course, I never looked specifically. The ones I've seen are roughly the size and shape of a typical FET that you'd find on an ESC (square/rectangular and flat), and it has two leads.

It might not record currents below zero (has anyone even tried setting the graph low point to a negative number?), but there should be a voltage peak that may be at or above the battery voltage.
