Matthew, you might want to try a boat controller, as they are setup for a wheel radio, usually no brakes or reverse. The castle barracuda or hydra are nice, not sure if the aquacraft supervee esc will handle that motor, but it is good for 4s lipo. The hydra is the newer version of the barracuda and is good for 6s lipo, it has a cutoff too, IIRC.
Well it's all assembled, went with a Tekno setup as opposed to fabbing stuff myself. Pics will be up by tonight (hopefully) as well as descriptions of how it went. Will have feedback on driving as well as racing by Sunday, Saturday I'll be at Barona racing it and my messmaki.... err.. nitro 8ight.
Sorry to tease!
