Re: Your favorite ESC (with photo)
My personal favorite from 1995 is the Novak Hammer. It never won any world championships, so it won't have the popularity of the 410's or the Cyclone, but it was awesome. I'm hoping to snag one for an upcoming build, so if anyone has one they'd be willing to part with, please let me know.

Mine was the tempest. I always liked the looks of the hyperfet II model better than the hyperfett III because it had the dial attached. Not sure why Novak removed it for the Hyperfet III model.

Re: Your favorite ESC (with photo)
I´ll have to say Tekin 410K.
It was that highly sought after ESC that you never could afford and so different from all others.

It's a tie between the Novak 410-HPc and Tekin 410K. The M.troniks Monster FET isn't far behind.

This is a special ESC recently obtained for my 1997 Yokomo MX-4 World Champ buggy. The Tekin M Star Gold is my favorite for 2023. The gold heat sinks should look sharp installed.
I believe both the gold and red label Tekins were the winning ESC's at the 97 worlds.

Re: Your favorite ESC (with photo)
So the Tekin M Star Gold is a special version made for Yokomo. But basically it is a G12?
Of course it looks special and nice.

Novak Racer FTW! Good call! Loved that ESC, had one in my Kyosho Ultima II that I really wish I still had.

Re: Your favorite ESC (with photo)
My favourite and first proper ESC (which I raced with all through the 90's)
The M-Tronks Pro-Digi. Ground breaking at the time as the smallest and lightest no motor limit digital brushed Pro ESC.
Here's mine.. it's literally done 100's of hard races.. had untold abuse..never let me down.. absolutely battered, never missed a beat. And still works like a charm today.
