I bought a Volantex Sr48 and want to use my 2200mah 3s lipos with it. It comes with a 1000mah 3s. The guy I bought it from said I would need a more powerful esc..atleast 30A or the 20A one it comes with would burn out. Is this true? doesn't make sense..batteries are same voltage just different capacity. Any thoughts?

Think of mAH as the size of the gas tank.

Yeah thats what I was thinking..didnt make sense to me. He has upgraded a few of them maybe he is just a bit upgrade exuberant. Maybe the esc is too small for the boat to begin with. I'll prob order a cheap more powerful one to have on hand if/when it burns out. Thanks for the replies guys!
