The best solution is to make that ESC MCU is monitoring such failure, but then you will have cogging as everyone hates. But that is what they trying to say in manuals about proper wire length and quality connections...
At the time when schulze was released such precautions were not a concern and failure to the wire length and poor motor connector were common.
But it is still hard to proof what happen to your particular ESC, because there are so many variables including aging of semiconductives and caps tend to dry over the time.
And, yes capacitors close to ESC can minimize long wires impact. Different gauge, wire length and twisting also helps.
- I can reuse brains from your schulze...

I'll send it over to see if it can still be used. Artur, please check this out and see if you can change brain boards and add another power board that I have:
