You can use caps for decoupling in more than one place. You can put them near the motor (this is a good idea and helps prolong the life of the motor) and you can also put them closer to the electronics as well. If you have access to an oscope and can see what frequency noise you're getting, you can pick out specific caps to filter these frequencies out. Otherwise, you can get and use several larger and smaller values to knock out a broader range of noise frequencies.
