I really, *really* wouldn't suggest removing the cap though. It's not an optional part. You'll notice that basically every brushless ESC out there has input caps - be they internal, or external - and they're part of the ESC's design. Sometimes it can be beneficial to add additional caps, but it's never wise to remove those that are already there.
It's like buying a new PC and removing the CPU fan because it's too noisy. Might be quieter for a short while, but you're soon going to kill your CPU. For the sake of neater wiring, it really isn't worth it. Like I say, it'll make the thing run hotter, wasting power, and it could cause the death of your ESC someday down the line. And you're not going to be very happy when you're winning a race, and your speedo gives up the ghost, are you?
