They also go a heck of a lot faster, and energy required goes with velocity squared.

Just compare this Hobbyking brushless ESC to the IFI Victor. I am not a ground vehicle guy, so I'm not sure how the throttle linearity matches up to the Victor. Hobbyking tends to sell pretty quality stuff these days, and the independent reviews look great, so I would be inclined to say that the HK ESC delivers.
