If you want it already waterproofed, get a Holmes BR-XL. It is a crawler type ESC with decent limits.

Could run twin Velineon ESC's, then you'd have the capability of running a 3S LiPo on each one.

the holmes br-xl seems like it would be a great esc but there out of stock untill march, so i think im gonnabuy a cheap esc for now and then buy the br-xl. a velineon esc can be used with a brushed motor?

Just remember the Velineon ESC doesn't have a drag brake setting. I run it in one of my trail rigs and it's fun but needs some throttle to hold it in place on a slope. This is with a brushless motor so a brushed motor will help but not as much as an ESC with drag brake settings.
