That's just a capacitor. It is supposed to smoothen any voltage sags when the load (servos) start pulling some current and might help with noise. However, the value is really too small to do any good. Plus, you are running a receiver pack that should easily drive those servos. If you were running low power (under 800mAh) cells with several (at least 5) servos running at the same time, then it might help to keep the voltage up...maybe. Your Lipo Rx pack will be more than sufficient by itself... and even if the voltage did drop slightly under load, you won't even notice it because of that receiver pack converter (which is just a 6v regulator).

Good luck with the rest of your selections!
