wassup guys, fairly new to rc planes..i have a GWS Slow Stick with a 18a esc from a package i bought from nitroplanes..heres a link of the package im using http://www.nitroplanes.com/60p-dy-10...ProductReviews
right now im using a 1300 mah 2s 25c lipo but i feel like it could use a little more kick. Is it safe to pair up my 18a esc and brushless motor with a 1300mah 3s 30c lipo? I tried seaching and couldnt find a solid andswer..i just dont wanna burn out the esc..thanks alot everyone! any help will be much appreciated

you should be good to go, i run and 18a esc with a 1800man 3s 30c lipo in a 1:18th and have absolutly no problems

On a slow stick??? really???
Yeah, should be fine. It says on the page you linked "Li-po: 2-3 cells".
Watch the temps at first, and make prop changes if necessary.
If you're looking for more fun factor, put ailerons on it, or even better, get another plane.

Sounds pretty safe but... Advice for newbie electric flyers? -get yourself a wattmeter. Whether you can run a particular setup depends on the combination of components, and it'll end up being a matter of prop selection to give you the performance / duration you need. With a wattmeter you'll be able to measure what amps you're drawing so you can avoid cooking esc's, motors, lipos etc.

The picture in the link you provided shows the ESC label. On the label, it says "2-3 LI-XX". Just watch the motor temp. Downsize the prop if needed.
