You will also want to look at the voltage range it will operate at. Most R/C speed controllers are designed for 7.2 to 9.6 VDC, but some will work at a higher voltage. Also, make certain that the max continuous and peek current ratings are compatible with what the motor you will be driving and what it is capable of drawing.
