lightweight, inexpensive speed controllers

I was interested in building a quadrocopter, the classic robot enthusiast project. I know generally what to do, except when it comes to speed controllers. The speed controllers used in FRC are way too heavy, too expensive, and require the wrong amount of voltage. I am looking for a light, inexpensive speed controller that can support a 5v input, as well as PWM functioning. Anyone have any ideas?
