Thanks Joe, i guess I'm going for the "I don't want to let the smoke out" theroy, and trying for the highest load possable, for future considerations, we get a lot of wet heavy snow here I'd like to go plowing through, not to mention mud, I've budgeted up to $400 US for the ESC, so I'll definatly spend some time looking over the Robot Solutions one.

The IFI Victor 885 is reversible, proportional, single channel.  It can
handle 120 A continuous.

The Vantec RDFR33 is reversible, proportional, dual channel with
mixing.  It can only handle 35 A continuous.

You will need need -
a)  two IFI Victors plus a mixer or,
b)  one Vantec.

The Victor 885 is overkill for our tanks.  Most tankers use 60 A fuses
in-line with each motor.

If you are prepared to spend over $200, I recommend the Robot Solutions
RS80D at $275 for 80 A per track, reversible, proportional, dual channel with
mixing.   http://robot-solutions.com/RS1/product_info.php?products_id=29
