I mean whilst its not quite 4 times the max length (I think they were exaggerating) your battery cables are way to long and looking at the way they loop around and remember that you have to add the cables in series to get the total effective length.
Put it like this the series link between the packs alone in that video looks to be about 8-10 inches then add another 8-10 for the rest of the y cable then add another 8 inches for the cable to go through your eagle tree and back to the esc.
That adds up to a lot of cable and inductance that needs greater capacitance for decoupling.
I will add that schulze seem to do everything in extremes that includes escs failing in a ball of fire and treating there customers like they questioned there parentage.

The length of the pack cables are 5 inches, the series adapter is 5-1/2, but I've use the same series cable for a long time now on other controllers and nothing happen to them. I used the Schulze more than enough times and Mr. Schulze said, "A new controller would also fail within minutes or even seconds", which is BS. I have controllers that even states if I shorten any wires, it would void warranty. I'll see how long the 18.61 will last. The MGM controller didn't have any problems with the wire length and it ran cool just like the Schulze was running before it flamed up. You should see the length of the Spin 200 wires and I've seen a guy in rcgroups using the Spin 300 and the length of the wires are even longer then what I have. Here is a link of an even longer wire:
