Two questions.

I am going to use a brushless tail motor and am getting a phoenix 10 for it. The motor itself says that it has a 2-3A max current. Am I headed for disaster on this?

Also, can I run the brushless tail motor with a brushed main motor? Obviously I'll need a brushed ESC, but aside from that, is there any issues? I've heard that the brushless motors run on AC, does the ESC convert the DC current to AC?
