12 amp will be sufficient. might want to go a little higher like an 18 or 20 if you plan on using lipo but with nimh its not necessary.

Also, make sure its a brushed type if you are using the stock motor.

will a 25 amp work with a 3-cell lipo?

ESC amp requirement is defined by the power draw. The stock motor draws under 20A.
Whether the individual ESC will handle 2 or 3S depends on the specs of THAT ESC. Read them.
In all probability, yes.

thanks for the help,
it says 6-12 volts on the input, lets hope for some factor of safety. The only thing that I need to cognizant about is LVC. The esc i have is set for 5 volts, don't think i can change it.
I'll have to do some timing to check it all out.
