Hey Paul, yes these early Novak ESC had no built in shortcut protection system and it was recommended to install a blade type fuse, typically used in 1/1 cars, to avoid any unwanted damage. These early ESC were costing as much as a kit back then

Thanks for the continuous education... I had never realized that... Will need to reopen my box-of-old-hoarded-speedoes to check if any of them has something similar!

Yup it was very common BITD to use these fuses. I think Futaba even made an ESC that included a specific slot for such a fuse. Maybe the 210CB?
Here is a picture of the very first NOVAK ESC (used on the RC10 box art). Note that there are only 3 wires instead of four, large on/off switch, 3 pots, machined heat sinks and no screws to attach the two half cases, just a black tape like for the NER-2S receiver! It was never described or pictured in their official online timeline though.
And here is a Novak 1 ESC without the label and was most probably produced just after the one above.

Et voilà! Stole the body from a car I would like to sell and added Autographics numbers. Paint scheme inspired from the Winning Edge RC10 video. I need to track old white AE logos to finish it off. A yellow Sanyo pack would be great too.

Everything turned out great! Body and the wheels go together great, and I love a clean wiring job!

Very sweet paint job, with extra shading on the blue translucent paint... lovely final result - as expected!

Thanks for taking the time to write something guys. She’s a keeper for sure. The more modern Autographics decals bug me terribly though
