Default RE: Speed Control amp

First, "Speed 400" motors are brushed motors. Mega does make brushless motors in a "400" size but they are not Speed motors. The amp draw of a motor depends on the pack voltage, prop size and pitch and gearing, if any. You can use an e-power spreadsheet to calculate the current. An ESC with larger capacity will cost you more and weigh a bit more.
