The least expensive motor controller is the Tri-Pact speed control, 
which consists of 4 automotive relays, 8 diodes and a little bit of 
wiring, all for well less than $20 (see the Speed Control article on the 
web site for details).  You'll want to make sure that the motors are 
geared properly to drive the vehicle at a reasonable speed, because you 
don't want them arcing too much when the relays kick on and off.
