If the base model isnt worth the money, then i may look into the havoc 3s with the 8.5. My only concern is that I am not sure if the 3s is roar legal.
We discontinued the EX motor series (w/bonded rotors) last year. All SS Pro motors and the 8.5 motor in the Havoc Sport system have sintered rotors. So they are not "junk".
The motor in the Havoc3S/Ballistic 8.5 system is ROAR approved. Using 3S lipos in ROAR-sanctioned events is not allowed, but the Havoc 3S esc can be used with a 2S pack.
