I would just buy a decent speed control. I have a feeling you may have issues with a 100 amp hv plane speed control running it on 5s in a MT. I would say to use the HV speed control as a HV speed control and run 8s or more.

Nothing wrong with running 5s, but I think you would benefit from using a car esc, the burst rating of the fets will be higher, and it will handle the abuse better. I would get a MMM and just run a single speed. Much simpler than the 2 speed and mech brakes. I am guessing the 8xl will be enough motor, keep overall speeds under 40mph and it should do fine.
