Hello,
I'm using this motor and an Arduino
Motor Ratings (at 7.2 VDC):
No-load Current: 0.27 A @ 310 RPM
Stall Current: 4.8 A
Max Torque: 4.6 lb-inch (5.3 kg-cm)

Does anyone have a good idea about a motor driver that would work well with this motor?
You asked the same question over at Project Guidance.
To saved anyone wasting their time, I've deleted that post.
Please DO NOT cross-post.
It wastes time and makes me cross.

Sounds like you need a driver that can handle about 5 Amps at 7.2 Volts.

Do you have an example, or a suggestion? I cant find any
Any R/C brushed motor controller.
Simple interface too.
If you look carefully on the page you pointed to you will see:
"Works well with HB-25 motor controllers"
That line even provides a link to said controllers:

H-bridges that might work
