Default RE: Battery information/calculation?

Heyas,

I have another quick question...

I was reading some more responses to people's engine setups for the plane i'm interested in building (twin brushless motor p-38) and i noticed the guys were saying that the current draw was like 18 amps...if I'm buying two ESCs (one for each motor) that are 18 amp each that would be a combined 36 amp - couldn't I get away with two 10 AMP ESCs then? or am I misunderstanding the concept... I'm curious if I was understanding the application in the above question.

I read that using a high AMP ESC is a good thing to reduce hear etc - what are other advantages?

Ty in advance.
