Just a note of caution on the brushless motors - it's nearly impossible to diagnose them when something goes wrong without the special programmer widget they sell for almost as much as a spare controller ("MOSFET error" isn't terribly descriptive.
If I had to do it all over again, I would use a brushed motor.
