Hi I have a question, if I buy the motor AC2836-358, 880Kv, what kind of ESC do I have to buy, the ESC 20 Amp or the ESC 30 Amp, why and why not the other?

20A is fine, max draw with an 11in prop is about 15A. You'll hover with 2 or 3 A (per motor). Buying a larger ESC doesn't hurt you at all but in this case the 20A is safe.

I got the 20A one by mistake, and it worked fine up to using 11" prop. When using the 12" prop, it was a bit unstable.
