After some of the brushed Botbitz 85A ESCs (at least two but one will do). Out of stock on both Botbitz and Ranglebox.

Be happy to reprogram a few if hobbyking has them in stock if you fancy?
So Hobbyking are all out of these as well.
I get the feeling they have been supersceeded by the AE- models
80 amp version:

65 amp version:

The descriptions say...
"The Turnigy AE series are based on new powerful microprocessor.
The new CPU means ultra fast sync timing, crisper throttle re..."
But cannot confirm this. Im after 2 TZ85a but may need to look to see if these 'newer?' models are programmable in the same way...
I hope they continue with tz85a else need someone to port SimonK to these pronto !
Has anybody cracked open the AE series ones to see what MCU it uses?
I can't imagine they'll discontinue the TZ85 with how popular it is. The site page is still up, I bet they're just waiting for another production run.
Im tempted to get the AE version just to open it up... as i could use it as brushless controller if else?
Challenge accepted. I am ordering one today. If all else fails, gives me an excuse to reuse the Red Brick controllers I have laying around make a fully brushless machine.

snap, me too!
Speed controller arrived this morning, will attempt to hack and update later on.
UPDATE: And that appears to be a no. If there is a MCU around, it is either one I don't recognise or is there but the chip is on the underside of the red board, which is soldered on.
