e-Electric Motors & Controllers > Motor, Esc and batt question??

Im new to electrics and have a couple quick questions.
I have Eflight park 480 motor, Phoenix 25 esc and Flightpower evo 2500mah 3s 11.1 lipo. Its going in a smaller plane. Will the esc hold up with the bigger motor and batt?? My Esc has a lead coming off it that looks like it should plug into the RX. Does this mean it has the BEC built in? Does this regulate the power with out programing?? Sorry for all the questions but could use some help. Thanks again

ya it plusg into the reciever and powers the servo from the motor battery. it might not be a big enough esc for the job though. what size prop. all you can do if you have to use that esc is have a small prop to keep amps down. use a amp meter to see what the motor is pulling before you take it up. i had a plane with a motor that size and it was pulling more then 25 amps

It has a 12x6 prop. Maybe I should buy a bigger ESC just to be safe
