A 10A speed controller will be fine. I would recommend buying a British-made type as many of the imported ones you can find on E-Bay – although temptingly cheap – are of dubious quality and have no service or warranty guarantees. ACTion, Electronize, MTroniks and Microgyros are all OK.

other question i have a hi-tec sp6/10A thats only half working.motor only turning one way with full control.

[Dave MilbournParticipant @davemilbourn48782]

It's dead – unless you only want to go ahead (or astern). Also maximum of 7.2v.
