No, you will need an ESC that can handle around 100Amps.
A Logo 500 can reach well over 100A continuous current.

I'm using a Jazz 80-6-18, but other choices would be: Jeti 90 opto
Castle 85HV

I'm using a Jazz 80-6-18 with the higher amp drawing A40 8L with success. i wouldn't go with anything lower than a 75A ESC on a 6S bird.

I'm using a Jazz 80-6-18 also, however if you look at the specs its 80 continuously and 110 peak. I do see that lots of ppl are cutting some of the Heat-shrink off the ESC and attaching a Heat-sink, I'll be doing this also.
I've been using a CC60 with a 19 tooth pinion for the past 4 months, fly every weekend.
Yes, it worries me, but evidence shows it's worked fine up till now. I do run a SportBEC.
I have a 22T pinion I want to put in to up the headspeed, but I'm just not going to do it with the CC60.

If you look at the Flight Data Recordings people have done up in the sticky section, you'll see what a Logo 500 will pull during flight.
100 amps, maybe on 4s?

I'm running a A40-10L Mod .5 gear w/20 tooth pinion, 550mm blades. My ESC is a CC 85HV and I'm running TP 6S 5000 packs. I flew it with an Eagletree this past weekend and to my surprise it was peaking out at 96A! I'd run it in the past with a 22 tooth pinion...and it was smoking controllers after around 4mins. This was before I got the Eagletree.

Yes, that should work fine.
