Re: I need to see a shrink (Lonestar's ESC collection)
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.scr8p wrote:we definately sold more tekins. it got to the point that we wouldn't even stock novak stuff because it just sat there.RC10resto wrote:Hey Jason do you know if you guys sold more Novaks than Tekins?when i worked at the lhs, we were sending esc's back to novak for repairs constantly. it was rare that we would send a tekin back
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."The world looks so much better through beer goggles: Enjoy today, you never know what tomorrow may bring."

Re: I need to see a shrink (Lonestar's ESC collection)
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!

Re: I need to see a shrink (Lonestar's ESC collection)
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.
