Ok, so I bagged myself a BNIB Novak 410-M5 esc. It turned up this morning and I had great joy in finding that it was 100% complete with all it's individual parts still bagged as well as mint condition stickers and instruction booklet.
I paid $71.00 for it and another ten bucks to have it shipped to the Uk, which I was quite happy with.
Just out of curiosity: how much would one of these cost back in the day when they were first released?
Well, that's really shocked me! I was expecting to find out that I'd paid at least double the original price, not that I'd actually got a bargain! Lol!
I know that an 'item' is only worth the price that someone is willing to pay for it, but I'm happy to think I got a real bargain: cool!
The 410 M5 was a super popular entry level Novak, I bet 75% of my local track was running them in 92- The higher end full racing Novaks, for example were double and more the cost of that one BITD. Nice find too
79.99 put into a inflation cal 1992 to 2011 the esc would cost today 128.95.

Yea you guys have got to stop screwing around with your photobucket pics. Once you have put them up, leave them alone! :(
Hi all, this may be a long shot, but I used to race my RC10 B2 at Walt's Hobby in Syracuse, NY back in the 1990's and had a ton of fun as a kid. I no longer live in the area, and I understand the clay track has been replaced by a carpet track, but I...
I have this question, and it may have been asked before; did AE ever make the original tires for the kit, the RC10T team car that is shown on the box art and in the ads at the time (see pic).

I would get a rere kit. It comes with oil shocks and esc..then upgrade it with bearings and the MIP ball diff.
Like you guys most of our rc stuff comes from China or other parts of Asia. The quality on a lot of it is pretty good and the prices seem reasonable as well. Here is an example, I bought this charger on a local auction site for US$72 and the battery...
