Hey Jason do you know if you guys sold more Novaks than Tekins?
we definately sold more tekins. it got to the point that we wouldn't even stock novak stuff because it just sat there.

I think that's a regional thing. I worked at the LHS here and we sold nothing but Novak. And I mean nothing but Novak. :shock: I seriously don't think we even carried Tekin. Looking back, it's like Tekin and Kyosho didn't exist in this area. If Steve didn't like it, we didn't sell it... end of story. I'm guessing a lot of areas were like that.

Loving this old-school ESC tech.... reminds me of the ones I have, and the ones I used to have.

Just picked up a Novak 610-HRV last week, and it still has the rubber cap over the adjustments..... sweet! Hope it works...

I do have a Pit Wizard that I picked up years ago that I don't use, if you would like to source one...

You know what your ESC collection needs? An ESC that you could build from a kit... lol....

Looking forward to more ESC pics and stories!

There's something still very cool about the old esc's. I also have a sweet collection of these type of units so I can appreciate the way you feel about them.
I often find myself thinking the new age brushless gear feels a little 'soul less' in comparison.
