Is there any Esc shield for arduino uno (or can i use brushed motors)

I am currently working on a large model quadcopter and I was planning on using my arduino uno. I have only experience with brushed dc motors however I was looking at quadcopter motors and they are brushless meaning I need esc to control them. Is there any motorshields capable of controlling brushless motors or am I going to have to make one? Is it possible to use dc motors if they are fast enough? I am still working on the physics of it.

All RC 3-phase brushless motor controllers (Called ESCs in the RC world) (ESC = Electronic Speed Controller) take a standard RC
servo signal, the same signal you use with the arduino SERVO library. Your ESCs (as you already know) have a cable with a red wire , black wire and yellow (or white ) wire . The first two are +5V power for the ESC logic interface and the last is the signal. You can
connect an ESC with a motor (minus the prop of course) to your arduino. Plug your LIPO battery into the ESC motor power connector and run the MoodIndicator Example in the servo library using a pot.

 // Controlling a servo position using a potentiometer (variable resistor) 
// by Michal Rinott <http://people.interaction-ivrea.it/m.rinott> 

#include <Servo.h> 
  Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo 
  int potpin = 0;  // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer
int val;    // variable to read the value from the analog pin 
void setup() 
{ 
   myservo.attach(9);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object 
} 
  void loop() 
{ 
   val = analogRead(potpin);            // reads the value of the potentiometer (value between 0 and 1023) 
   val = map(val, 0, 1023, 0, 179);     // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180) 
   myservo.write(val);                  // sets the servo position according to the scaled value 
   delay(15);                           // waits for the servo to get there 
}

You can see from the code the servo signal plugs into I/O D9.
The red & blk wires connect to +5V and GND on the arduino, and you already know what to do with the battery and motor.
Connect a poteniometer to +5v & GND , and connect the wiper of the pot to A0 analog input and your good to go.
