The Tekin RS and RS Pro require a booster or receiver battery to work with 1s batteries. Speed Passion's latest ESCs, the Reventon series, also need a booster or receiver pack. SP's GT V2.1 EX will work with a 1s without anything extra.
The Hobbywing v3.1 1s is great, the cap and switch are built into the case. ORCA, Viper and Team Orion also make great 1s speed controls that don't require any booster or receiver pack. Hobbywing also has their original 1s ESC for about $100 or less right now.
