Default Spectra Motor Assembly

I recived a spectra a while ago, it is partialy assembled. However it doesn't have any part of the motor or speed control stuff. I am looking for an inexpensive way to buy or build the ESC or on of switch that can be remotely operated by the receiever. I know the plans call for a on off switch opperated by the servo. I found tower is selling a ESC for 18 dollars or so. I was wondering what you all thought about it. I also will need a battery charger. I have an accu-cycle that will work, but it will take forever. If you know where some plans are to build one or where a cheap charger is, could you please let me know. I also wanted to know about BECs, are they safe?
So to outline
1 Motor assembly on the Great Planes Spectra
2 Motor Contol on Great Planes Spectra
3 BECs ESCs what are they what do they do
4 Charger, cheap or buildable

Thank You very much
