I have 3 Novak ESC's that I could use. A 610-HRV, Rooster, or a Super Rooster. I have not purchased a motor yet. I have a Hobbico Hammer EP (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBTE6**&P=ML) and I wanted to make it faster, but I would like to use one of the ESC's I already have. Any suggestions?

Just make sure that they can handle at least 60 amps, and that you don't get water on them. Also, sometimes, car ESC's have cooling problems when in boats, so put them in as open of a space as possible, or mabye even fit them with water cooling.
