    Those are ZLH series caps made by Rubycon, which are easy to find. You need a minimum voltage spec of 35V. Existing bank is 1170uf total, so I would probably use 500uf as a minimum on the replacements since this is a low current capacity ESC.

    Get more of them else you will blow them again.
    You had too much ripple which overheated the caps. Put 5 or 6 in parallel.
