As per the custom circuit rules, you could use that capacitor bank, but you could never use that stored power on any sort of output device. In fact, the output has to be connected to the analog inputs, digital I/O, TTL Serial Port, or Program Port. So, if you want to use your bank to fry your RC, nothing is stopping you (well, except for the hazardous devices rules).

EDIT: A 54 farad bank would probably violate the cost limits as well.
