need advice on an brushless esc, without a bec circuit for 30 amp n up on an e flight

Trying to find an esc without a bec circuit for a 30 amp n up on a brushless e flight park 480 outrunner. Can't seem to find any when I look them up on any of the sites?

Plenty of good choices. ESCs without BEC are generally called "Opto ESCs" Perhaps also consider going up to 40 amp - it will stay cooler and the weight difference is minimal.

Also you can use any ESC with a BEC and cut the red wire on the plug that goes to your receiver. This stops the BEC from delivering power to the receiver.

Pull the red (center) wire out of the esc plug and heat shrink/tape it back. I prefer to not cut them since I may one day wish to use the internal BEC.
