Be careful, they have to be low-ESR caps if you want to use them for an ESC. If it doesn't say low-ESR, look for a temperature rating 105*C or higher.

Also, caps get "worn" with age, and may tend to puff or pop if pushed. Usually not bad in itself, but it stinks and there is smoke (usually no fire though).
