Gimme a reason to NOT buy it, do the have a habit of letting out the magic smoke?
We dont have a problem with spending the $$ on the good stuff but we are mostly 99.9% of the time racing as our group, not going to races that are organised so its good if we all have the same system unless its a real POS
The fact that the system you are looking to buy has been discontinued, should send up a red flag.
Novak are not now, nor have ever been a major player in the 1s competition market, for what ever reason ?
Perhaps there's far more to gain in the mainstream market, but that's pure speculation on my part.
I have no reason to think the Havok would be problematic, but it wouldn't be my 1st choice.
