I would like to know if I can use the super capacitor with my gtb esc.
Will It increase punch and brake?

Don't use it in place of the transcap module that comes with the GTB. There's a reason that transcap module is there, and that is to provide a weak link so that it blows instead of the ESC.
With that said, you can supplement the transcap module. You can solder the super capacitor to the same spots on the PCB that the Novak module's leads are soldered to.
The capacitor will lower ESC temperatures and may give you a slight bit of punch (not the main purpose though).
As long as the capacitor you are adding is the proper voltage (take whatever voltage you run, then add 25% to it, and that should be "about" your cap's max voltage), significant capacity, and low-esr, then you should be good.
