duratrax blast ($50), futaba mc230CR ($55),
hitec SP520 plus ($55), and traxxas XL-1 ($45) are all inexpensive reversing esc's and they can all handle stock motors.

You can't go wrong with a novak. The Futaba is good too but that Traxxas isn't high freq and gets really hot even with stock motors.

Yep.

But I'm pretty sure you'll regret it layer. Only 3 step speed control is really bad. Besides, they usually dont last for much time. And the ones I've tried, had real bad connections after some time, means it didnt always drove...
