I get that they are probably lowering the power draw from 7.2 to 6 V.
Do I need them?
Do I need different resistors?
I could not even find an image of a 3 stripe resistor.

I am not worried about the motors, as I have 3.
But I do not want to fry my MF or DMD.

Thoughts?

Those are not resistors, they are capacitors for motor signal/noise filtering. The Stripes will indicate the farad value of capacitance.
