i just got that system and its been great so far. i run it on a xxxt with a 23/86 gearing and it hardly gets over 110-120 after a 6 minute race with 6 cell nihm. haven't had a chance to gear it up yet, but i like the temp headroom and fast enough for now. being able to program it on the fly is really handy too. one problem i did suffer from was lots of interference with a FM radio no matter where i ran the wires. i ended up swapping the FM into my losi mini crawler and used the 2.4ghz in the xxxt and works awesome now.

I run that system in my xxx-t mf2 with a 26/86 gearing. Speed is on par with the fast guys at our track (my driving isn't) and temps are around 110-120 after races. 5 min qualifying and 8 min main. I like the system and have not had any problems with it. Easy to set-up. No complaints. Just fun!

I just smoked the stock motor in my "stock" SC10.
I was going to go with another brushed motor, but then I saw the Havoc 13.5 system. I decided I didnt want to hassle with the maint. of a brushed motor and the Havoc was fairly inexpensive.
All I had time to do was put the system in the truck and calibrate the tx (DX3R) to the esc and take it out for some track fun. I totally love it! I have a spec Slash and another SC10 with a 8.5 X-12 and this 13.5 seems to be right in the middle, performance wise. Smooth, quiet and predictable power.
I think the 8.5 is too much for me right now and this 13.5 satisfies the need for more power over the spec Slash.

I have it in my Slash. 26/83 gearing and really like it. I see anywhere from 100°-115° depending on track conditions. Nice, basic and runs smooth. Great value for the money.

All i can say about havok is it will give you glitchy radio problems on AM/FM. Switching to 2.4ghz seems to clear up all issues.
