Hi Alex and welcome to the forum.

If you have a look over at the lifeboat section,  you will find all sort of model details on the Severn.  Here you will be able to start a thread of your own and progress your build along with some pictures.

The members would love to help you, so ask any questions you may have.   

Cheers

Welcome to the madhouse so to sepak....right motors.........if you have been used to motors with 2 wires then they were Brushed motors and with these you can use a vast majority of speed controllers...the 3 wire motors are Brushless and thye need a diffent type of speed controller .
 
Have a read on the Technical section about Brushed and Brushless motors

I was into model aircraft which all had brushless 3 wire motors, decided to call it a day after destroying about 10 models and came to he conclusion that I was a fairly rubbish pilot .

the 3 wires are quite simple, wire them up to the 3 wires on your brushless esc, if the motor turns the wrong way, swap any 2 wires over. By using bullet connectors between the motor and esc, it makes it easy.
