you can use any ESC without a power capacitor. Will not smoke.
You can buy a new power capacitor at any electronic parts shop for a few cents. You can ask for a 4700 uF/ 10V capacitor, but if you have more free space near the ESC you can ask for 10000 uF/10V. (more capacitance is better).

The power capacitor on my cyclone got detatched from the esc while i was playing with it. I was running my car not knowing that my tires were not the only thing making contact with the asphalt. As a result, around 25% of the capacitor's material got worn out. Do I need to replace my capacitor? Thanks.

It would be best to replace the power cap. If not, could have a short and smoke your esc or maybe fry your battery pack.
