You do want to get a lipo that can supply more power than your esc/motor combo can ask for. Thats another subject though.
I don't think this is entirely correct. If you have too hot a motor it will try and pull more amps than your esc is capable of supplying damaging it.
You are correct on the batteries though! Get a higher C than you think you need.
