You should find one of these will suit you just fine:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=13472 (You want the 4700uf 16V one).

You could certainly increase capacitance with no ill effects, but with diminishing returns. On 2S LiPo, in your application, 4700uf will be just fine. :-)
Is that one Low ESR though (whatever that means!?)
