Ok thanks new to electric just dont want to fry anything

 

[tntpoof]

you fry things by using less C not more C...C is one of the 2 multipliers to know what your batteries potential in Amp output is.... so its C x .000 in mah..+Amps.

Higher C on the battery than what is needed is better for the battery and esc. If you have too low of C, the esc tries pulling amps it can't get, then it runs hot and the battery fails. Usually the battery gets destroyed in the process by puffing or bursting into flames. In most cases, if the battery says 50C on it, it's likely 30C constant (regardless what is written on it), so for most cases, go with at least a battery rated for 50C if you have a system that requires 30C.
