Motors can generally take 50% more than they're meant for safely so 14v would be fine. I'm personally using a sabertooth 25A which cost about ?100, a fair chunk of the budget (you could probably build a decent antweight with it). You could probably find a slightly cheaper on with less features but I wouldn't know anything about that...

I haven't looked at every single speed controller on GiantCod but from what I can see browsing through them, they're all designed for brushless motors. You'd need one designed for DC brushed motors to be able to control drill motors.

If it's the same type of blue boat controllers that were quite popular a few years ago, then you're probably looking for something like this:

There are no specs on this particular eBay item but if you search for '50a esc' you'll find a few of them up for sale. Generally they are rated at 50A forward, 20A reverse and have an operating range of 6-12V, although some people have managed to run them at 14.4V.
