85*C should be okay, thats still pretty damn hot and you wont likely heat them up that much under most normal circumstances. At worst, they will go pop and you'll have to get some different ones, but its probably worth trying them at anyrate.

Low ESR do have a lower internal resistance which allows them to be more effective in our applications than non-low ESR capacitors. Voltage ripple can be suppressed by low ESR caps, but regular caps won't do nearly as much for the ESC. Regular caps are more of a helper to the batteries than the ESC.
The temperature rating doesn't really matter here, as regular caps are pretty much always rated at 85 deg. C, but all low ESR caps are rated at 105 deg. C to my knowledge.
