FingerTech tinyESC and tinyESCwBEC
Vendor's Description:
These are the smallest motor controllers currently manufactured for RC hobby robotics. They take up very little space but can handle 2A continuous - more than enough for small robots.
The tinyESCwBEC has the same specs as the tinyESC but with an integrated battery eliminator ciruit. If there is no 5V supply present on the robot, one of these will power the radio receiver from the main battery.
• Ultra-compact and lightweight. Only 4 grams!
• Undervoltage, overcurrent/temp protection.
• Uses 5V from receiver, no internal BEC.
These speed controllers are perfectly matched to Maxon 13mm-size gearmotors, any Banebots 16mm-size gearmotor, and our upcoming Spark line of motors.

Does it have reverse?Many of
Does it have reverse?
Many of the smaller RC speed controllers I've looked at has been for planes, and therefore lack reverse.
And if it have reverse, does it have a break function? Because that's a tricky business.
The break function is there to save your gears from the stress of going from full speed forward to full speed reverse. So when you hit backwards after you've driven forward, the wheels will just stop, then you have to release and hit backwards again to get the motor moving backwards.
To circumvent this problem it's best to program in a small tap backwards every time it is in neutral position.

Sure does!
