Grant, You aren't going to find any *commercial* ESC in the 100-120A range that is inexpensive (at least not that I know of). I like both the Vantecs and the IFI Victors. As far as cost goes, the IFI's are hard to beat, but you would need a tank mixing circuit or a radio that can mix the two channels together. The IMX-1 mixer works great in my Sturmtiger. Since the IFI's are so simple, I would say that they would be the cheapest to repair, but to date I have yet to damage mine even when stalling the tracks. That's what the fuses are for. I have popped one of those. There is a very simple calibration button on the Victors. The Vantecs have some different jumper settings, but I'm using the default settings - no set-up at all.
