Default ESCs for Small Electric Models

Guys,

I have a number of plastic Lindberg ship models of various types. Most of them are the small (about 12" length) models that don't have a lot of extra space inside and can't carry a lot of extra weight. These are single-motor models and were designed for two AA batteries, You just set the rudder, turn on the motor, and let it go. Using modern 2.4 GHz receivers and sub micro servos, it would be easy to control the rudder. Motor control is another story. I've seen some small ESC's for brushed motors, but they are designed for airplanes, so they have no reversing capabilities. I was planning on using two 3.3V LiFe batteries to power the receiver and motor.

Does anyone know of a supplier for small, low current ESCs that have reversing capabilities?

Thanks in advance.

Bob
