The caps are there to provide stable operation in case there's a sudden spike in current and your batteries can't hold the voltage. Your esc can still run even if one or 2 caps popped as long as the current spike is within the capabilities of your batteries. The caps also act like a booster to the esc to provide the occasion current outburst that the esc needs. Of course it has to stay charged in order to do that. A capacitor is like a temporary battery that will provide that momentarily high current surge that the esc needs.
