24VDC Motor control

I am working on a project that requires the use of two 24VDC(3.3A) motors,
geared output shaft @110RPM max. Each motor will need to operate independently
and by-directionally and each also include a 24VDC brake coil. I will use two
channels from an RC(radio control) type receiver into a Stamp. The end result
will be similar to an RC ESC(electronic speed control), but having a higher
voltage rating than the typical off the shelf unit, and at a much lower price(I
hope). Has anyone built a project of this type with a Stamp? How well did the
Stamp respond, with regard to speed, repeatability and resolution? Is this a
cost effective solution or am I just re-inventing the wheel?
