Does anyone want to offer me a smoking' deal on a Kontronik 120HV or have another suggestion?

I have a few of the Kontronik Jazz 55A ESC and all of them were bought used. Kontronik ESCs are solid and I know that the Jazz 55A with a heat sink and maybe a fan can handle your set up (Ask Othelo (I think that's him) that used his Jazz 55A unit with a home made 5th scale), but the Jive is even better (http://rc.runryder.com/helicopter/t681727p1/) and would be a better option at the moment for your set up. If you're not going to use the ESC brakes or reverse, try and find one of the Castle 200 HV ICE (not 100% sure if all the Castle ESCs are having issues http://store.rumrunnerhobbies.com//hydraicehv200.html or you can see if Mike (RC-Monster) can get you one.

I found that thread by othelo, It's a very light 5th scale but the kontroniks esc's do seem impressive. Are they waterproof? Also, I read some info that stated they had brakes but no reverse but other info stating they had a car mode with reverse.
