    A Barracuda 80 can be set-up with reverse active, and would be plenty of ESC for your application...

      Be careful if your going to use a cable.

        VERY good point... Cable is directional... On the Castle controllers, you can set the percentage of throttle that reverse can be... 12.5%, etc... I'd set it to a low setting since it's only for dinking around... Otherwise, you may unwind your cable and cause yourself a mess...
