Maybe solder cap to the esc? You may have toasted that cap already too.
The polarity is indeed right. Cap is soldered to the esc. I have put the esc through a race and a couple of practice sessions. However, I only noticed today the cap gets hold once connected to the batt....
But I think you're right, the cap is probably toasted and needs to be replaced.
