sure you can keep the mechanical breaks. like that you can vary the front/rear breaks (eg. stronger rear breaks), and you can take a "normal" brushless esc.

in 1/6 conversions, many use the hobbywing pentium 100a esc (aka turnigy sentilon).
I had several "suppo style" esc's as a backup-esc during the last years, and currently, again I have a 200a esc in use, (including switching BEC, plus an extra fan, extra caps), because my car esc smoked. you just need some special wires for the breaking-servo.

my experience with plane-ESC's: cheap, reliable, No cogging at all, good throttle response, but NO proportional breaks, well better then nothing (don't have mechanical breakes). In the past I never smoked a plane-ecs (just killed them with shorts/water).

using mec. breaks also is good for the esc, breaking causes short peaks in voltage, which can damage the esc.
