Well, brushless motor controllers only run one way. So I'd have to hook up some sort of relay to reverse the direction. For this I'd need a microcontroller of some sort... Also, brushless motors don't like being stalled, so I want to limit it's use to just straight dashes. Of course... All my assumptions here may be entirely wrong
