The novak Super rooster and the LRP F1 pro reverse are both great for dual motors. There are many more but those are just off the top of my head.

Tc3guy hit the nail on the head. Id go for the Novak but LRP are good ESC's......so what ever cost less is the one id go for.

Novak Super Rooster Specs.

> No motor Limit, even in dual-motor applications.
>Smart braking activates reverse only after the motor has slowed to a safe speed.
>Polar Drive circuiitry for maximum efficiency and cool operations.
>Heavy-duty, 3A, 6V BEC handles high-power servos
>Radio priority circuitry maintains full servo power as the battery power is dumped.
>Reverse-Disable circuitry looks out reverse for racing.
.....for the retail price of 130$.......

LRP F1 Pro doesn't say anything about 2 motor hook ups (that i can find at the moment)

The info is from the April issue of RCCA (20 Reversing Speed Controls.

Keepin it Real

Yeah, the Super Rooster is great, but u are wrong on one thing, they have like an 8 turn motor limit in dual motor apps. But, it's not like you will put that kind of motor in a clod. I read about that in the Supoer Rooster instructions and the website.
