No, they don't. Airplane ESCs don't have proportional brakes or reverse. There are very few car ESCs that can support 12s lipo, due to the cost to make them and the limited number of people willing to pay the high price for them.

By far the least expensive way to go is mechanical brakes and no reverse. The HV-110 is quite possibly one of the smoothest airplane ESCs out there, it runs the Medusa 36-80-1100 on 10s 3700mah Lipo in my 1/7 buggy VERY smooth, almost as smooth as the MMM in other cars of mine. The mechanical brakes are nice too because I can set the rear bias to swing the rear end.
