I have buy a CC85HV on july 07 so i think it was last version. I had got some problem with Gov even with my old Trex600 8s and also with my Logo5003D vstabi.

So i decided to sell it and i have now a Jazz 80-6-18. What a fantastic ESC simple and with a great gov.

I have notice one thing:

CC85HV is a good ESC and if CC can improve the gov it will be an excellent ESC. It also runs very cool on my Logo500.

Jazz 80-6-18 is the king but i have notice that it runs more warm than CC and i think a heat shrink will be a must on hot season.
