Default Battery amperage needed for my plane

Hi all, if my Conscendo has a 30-amp ESC, does that mean that as long as my LiPo can deliver 30 amps, I am OK?

If I have a 1500 mah LiPo that has a rating of 25c, my understanding is that it can deliver 37.5 amps continuously because the formula (I think) is 1.5 amp-hours x 25c = 37.5 amps. But is that correct? Maybe 37.5 is the burst/max amps, not continuous? But if my ESC is a 30 amp unit, does that means 30 amps is the max anyway that my motor can draw?

Thanks,

-Tom
