first off, YES I WAS THE BIG LOSER. as everone knows about this auction http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=40431&hilit=cable+drive well my plan was simple, i thought if i won the chassis/body lot the bidders on that mip car would back off um....well that didnt happen lol. well i was just going to mount one of the bodies on the bare chassis, but than i though theirs nothing REALLY specail about that mip car other than those aluminum front knuckles (which mr. moore himself said that they were made for the team drivers not by him and after that a few sets were sold. he wasnt sure of how many total were made.) so i threw this together what i though it would have looked like, besides the mip cable kit (if anyone wants to sell me one please pm me to complete this car) i found all the other rare parts like the novak items. i think this came out very cool looking. thanks jeff for remaking the mip shock towers this car was put together with orginal edinger notched piston shocks and yes those rear shock cups are also orginal, but i painted them an off white since they were dyed black at one point fyi i know who owns the car and have been in contact with him and said iam first inline if he ever desides to part with it

Cool piece of history. I wondered who got that chassis. How are you making those rear wheels work in the front?

they just slid on the stock frt axles.

just bought anther early novak esc. notice the 3rd pot under the 4 sticker

The hole probably isn't in the case though. Seems like a later one with a screw together case, the newer style on/off switch and 4 wire. Pretty sure all of the early Novak's were 3 wire. Gonna take some work to pass it off as an early one.

hum i see what u mean. so the top is early but the bottom is a later one. dang i didnt even notice that. o well i only paid $25 for it. now iam looking at mine yup it was only 3 wires.

The top and bottom case are both newer. I'm sure when you get it there will not be a hole in the case under the 4. They were probably just using up labels they had.

I've had a couple that were the same way.

i think their is a hole their. bottom left of the 4 u can see the sticker has the adjustment sweep.

I see it...... doesn't mean there's a hole to the right of it.

You'll find out either way in a couple days.

yup will post up once its here

Cool man..boy did they free hand things back then..

yup u were correct. not a pot i guess its a light from what it looks like for the brake?? at least the one in the car is correct would have been nice to own 2, o well lol..

lil update i did find anther real 3 pot esc with the correct orginal heat sink. i just used the heat sink off of it for this project.

well i found a mip trans (non cable drive) its a start
