Finally scored a really nice Duratrax Powerline motor (17x3 2wd Off-road version), Novak Tempest Max with some 2-cell Li-Po doodad (very much unnecessary in this household), and one of them cool clear case Shredder receivers.

Novak LiPo SmartStop..... good gizmo for adding LiPo protection to older ESCs... I used to run one on my old GTB back when I first got into using LiPo packs.

Are those Shredders valued these days, with the 10CC release? Maybe I should offload my couple.... :idea: 8)

I'll keep the SmartStop around, even though it'll likely never get used.

I paid $13 for the Shredder. Have no idea what the average going rate is for them, but it has $13 of cool factor alone in my opinion. So the fact that it works is a free bonus.

It came with the documents and box.

What connectors were original to this?

Haha. I keep seeing those Novak battery boxes for NiMH and want to buy for absolutely no reason :)

I had that charger in '86. It came with the Molex/Tamiya just like it has. The battery side of mine had those clamp style connectors with back and red sleeves like this:

Interesting you mention this, as one of these popped up locally for not many $$$ the other day, and I had to work hard to stop myself from throwing a bid on it...

They look cool and vintage perfect, and can be upgraded for LiPo charging, but I don't *really* need another charger.....

It has been 39 days this box was put in the mail in China. It has been in the US for 24 days. Customs held it for 8 days, with no reason given. The USPS decided to take it cross country ............. twice. :roll: I literally thought this one was a goner. After all that though, it was packaged very well, and no damage at all. :D

Vintage Lunsford titanium shafts. The smallest details make the difference.

Got my Dirtmaster in. This will likely be my loaner car for silvercan racing.
