I picked up a couple of Victor 883’s
on E-Bay for $80 each. Keep your eyes open.

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
