Complete Pictorial Timeline Of Novak Electronics

Post by Dangeruss »

A while back I found a cool thread www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=239 started by Scr8p that linked to a timeline Novak had on their website. With Novak updates ending the timeline in 2009, their eventual closure, and wayback links as the only active workaround I thought brining the timeline onsite would prove useful, as well as entertaining. Each year is its own JPG, with each page resized and graphics reformatted for uniformity as well as to fix broken images and font colors. I also completed the last 7 years of the timeline using Novak press releases to match the first 31 years. Posts are in ten year blocks... 78-89, 90-99, 00-09, 10-16 in chronological order. Some years are not present, either because no new products were released those years or the press release dates placed them in a different year. If you see an error, missing product, or any other changes needed, let me know. ...and now... on with the pictures!

Amazing work! Really cool seeing it in this format.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

sandkill has a Novak HPC-SP ESC in his graphite tub chassis build. He's in Sweden. Any idea if that is a different label used in a non-US market?

410-HPc: American market. HPc-SP: European market. HPc-EX: Asian Market. Different labels on the same controllers. Same 410-HPc retail boxes too but with peel and stick labels applied to them. Interesting though is the European models got black heatsinks and traditional HPc style labeling while the Asian models got purple heatsinks and graphic labeling that would eventually be used across the entire Novak line.
