None under 150, though 200$ for the hacker master sport...

maybe the Schulze 12.46, when used with propper gearing and a good air flow, it should held the power, and it is around 170 in most areas !! (other thing: the warrior 7018/BEC from LMT, but you will notice some cog !!

And do yourself a favor not buying a Hacker master sport, the circuit tends to break under heavy load, the doubled circuit in the comp. is way better, but you´ll alway have to use a receiver pack in the hacker ones, because the bec is BAD !! (all other brands are fine, but these ones (except the new one) has some bec problems)

take a look at the schulze 12.46, maybe you´re able to get a heatsink to it, then you could use it for up to 70 A !!
it´s the best between solution !!

I have a Hacker Master Sport and didn't have any problem with it so far.

I ran my T3 with 10 cells and nothing failed. I jumped at the BMX track and nothing failed. So I thik it is tough enough.

About the BEC. It is not so bad. I only see some problem with a low 6 cells pack. When the pack is half discharged the motor will cog a lot at starts. But I was able to can this way and be very competitive... Even with GTs, but with 7 cells.

I have a C40-8S

I own a Hacker Master Competition. I've never encountered any problems with the BEC at all. I don't use a receiver pack with anything 6 cells and under. My T3 doesn't cogg either. I always use a receiver pack with anything over 6 cells. So far it's been a greater BL controller.

Under these circumstances, the ESC will NOT cog, or stutter, the bec is little faulty on 6 cell, that´s right, but for real power use the bec will not be usable (it was fixed with a 7.2 V 650 maH Li Ion Pack for the receiver)
buy the way, your Cars are MUCH lighter than mine (from the power datas the esc is best for 8th conversions), and you drove less cells either, that makes a difference !!
(mine: Kanai 2 with full titanium parts (everything thats plate or round form) and a direct drive (no mid reduction gear needed) special motor (torcman 350/28 10 poles with 8 turns)
the weight is around 3.3 kg and the esc has to be able of using 12 cells !!
(but this esc is otherwise good, only the bec might be "honored", as it might be disabled and another thing has to be applied, that IS worst in my eyes, as the esc is not a cheap one !!
(all my other brands DO go with 12 cells and BEC, no problems !! so i was little wondering . . . . . .)
