I am building a FT Mighty Mini Explorer. I have a motor Sport 370 1100kv that is off another plane. What ESC would I use with this? My receiver is a Spectrum AR610 and the battery is a Lectron Pro 11.1V 350mAh 50C. I am not real good with all the electronics and understanding the compatibility of parts. The ESC I was sold is a EFlite 10 amp Pro brushless which I'm starting to think is not appropriate after reading through some of the forums and looking at power packs that companies sell. I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you.
Not the right ESC ?

The 10amp would work, but a 15-20amp would be better and safer. If you use the 10amp go easy on long full throttle pulls.

Before flight it might be a good idea to move the servos around really fast to make sure your BEC (The thing that powers the servos and receiver) isn't too small..if it is the plane will shut down for a sec and restart, which isn't what you want to happen in the sky!🤣
I would look at the ESC from the plane the motor came from. If this ESC is the same or larger (more amps) then your good to go.
With RC stuff, the amp rating is do not exceed. To size a system, start with the motor. If the motor is rated to draw 10 amps, then pick an ESC that can handle a few more amps, say 12-15.
