What is a good, solid, reliable, inexpensive ESC?

Thanks

A Heng Long

I assume ya mean single unit... (for the older Tamiya's)

Tower Hobbies has a few, but you want one ~with~ reverse:

If you want a double ESC unit (for the later DMD tanks):

Thats the NEW options... any older eBay-sourced buggy/monster ESC that has reverse should be ok as well. I've got a few old Futaba 112's & 210's I intend to recycle as tank controllers.

Psst: He said ~reliable~, HL's ain't unless used carefully or modified (see assorted comments about burnouts)

Thanks WhiteWolf!
