Default RE: Adding caps to esc???

That’s correct to use that 5V regulator for your controller or you can connect its input power directly to the battery so you have independent regulator. If your ESC’s BEC is capable, you can enable that or for more than one power supply you can connect power diodes to get backup power. Since you’re using same battery, you can check energy consumption of your added ckt by multiplying specified load current to its voltage and running time.
