Im looking to set up a motor that can be controlled with remote to go forward and reverse, also can controll the speed. What are my best options? This will be used to operate a pully system. Also would like the option to run off battery or be pluged into a power cord.

Hi @Haventacluewhatimdoing24 and welcome to our forum.
I guess you would first have to choose appropriate motor, for example, if it is a brushed DC motor or maybe brushless or something else.

Based on the motor type, voltage, and other parameters, you would choose a motor driver which supports RC control.
Some of the popular motor drivers are Sabretooth controllers:
Here you can find some RC controllers:
Power supply should not be a problem. Most of these controllers support both battery and wall adapter power supply.
