Steve, so I cannot use these ESC as is? Why would “Brushless be bad for our 
application?

I’ve ordered a few of these controller from your link, I’ve also inquired from 
the company in Australia. I hope I get the PWM input on these (the photo did 
not cover the connectors), because the Talon SRX does not have the right input 
for the controller wire, and they have a full page of how to install the PWM 
wire… this is crazy that they have another input

This company is taking Turnigy 85A brushless controllers and modding them for 
brushed.  It involves reflashing with new code and removing one of the motor 
leads.

I'd consider finding the OEM of the product and see if they would produce 
brushed versions for you.  The code to do so is open source and freely 
available.

 Hi Tankers,

As a vendor of 1/6th scale tanks, I'm now out of my entire inventory of Talon 
SR. This ESC was very sturdy and I believe that I had only ONE that failed (out 
of 100+)

Now I'm in discussion with "Cross the Road Electronics", and the successor of 
the Talon SR is the Talon SRX. I guess it comes with lots more "bells and 
whistle", which I don't really care for since the Talon SR was doing a great job
My issue is PRICING: The new Talon SRX is $90. 50% increase cost on the ESC. 

Also, the discounts of the electronics world are abysmal. 

Do any of you have "other options"? I'm not interested building one. I just 
want a product OFF THE SHELF.
I'm in urgent need of good, strong ESC for 24V applications - 100A peak 
operation (I have about 15 ESC required for current sales)

Please help me!

NOTE: the Victor is not applicable. It will only take a maximum voltage of 16V.

Since I got the floor, let me show you a pic of a current project: I'm building 
an AAV-7 for an engineering firm contracting with the Army. It has a Fiberglass 
body, no suspension, but two jet propulsion on the side. I will post a video of 
its workings in the water

I'm assuming they won't work because a brushless ESC won't work with the
brushed motors you are using in the tanks.
