The Havoc 3s is only capable of running the 8.5t ballistic 540.
Two words: Heat Sink. If we had a gigantic heat sink and fan on top of the ESC, it would do it just fine. BUT the RS wasn't designed for heavy SC trucks, it was designed for stock to mild mod 2WD 1/10 cars that weigh a little more than half these trucks do.
