The electronize esc's are for brushed motors.

i have seen that 10a esc are ok for featherweights? are they?

They'll just about do it to be on the safe side I would use a 15A+ esc. This the one I'm using http://www.dimensionengineering.com/Sabertooth2X25.htm

to get the drill batterys useable you'll have to take apart the casing to get nicad cells (1.2v each) and solder them together to get the voltage you want.

No, the drill batteries are sized for the motors. You can quite happily take a pack, even leave it in it's casing if you wish and hook them up to your speed controllers. They won't be as high powered as racing packs or whatever else you decide to use but they perfectly usable. The lightweight typhoon bots used these in their case form.

The battery you linked to there is a sealed lead acid battery. Perfectly suitable to use as well however they are somewhat old in terms of featherweight technology. Better to look at nicads or nimh.
