Just needed to share / brag.

Picked up 3 NIB Novaks this week.

That Atom is sweet! Always looking for one. No idea what I would put it in, maybe my XX4, but I want one and the pit wizard to program it.

My plan is to put it into a XX-CRKE for the shelf.

I know BK used one every now and then. Was a very good stock ESC I understand. Pair with a midnight2. Cyclone and D2/3 is more “appropriate” but I think this still a very cool combo.

Sadly the “tape” around the case has become sticky and slipped. Need to sort something there.

Having said that though, I’d probably still trade this NIB atom for a very very good looking Cyclone…… especially a BK one from eagle racing.

Very nice collection of ESC's there. Vintage electronics never get reissued so they remain special and capture the time well. FYI, I happen to have a very very nice novak cyclone (looks mint), not sure what to do with. PM me if you need.

Pallet strapping tape is an excellent replacement for the black tape around vintage Novak stuff. I can't find the right width, so I cut it to a smaller width....

I've found that 1/4" pinstripe tape is very similar.

I normally just use electrical tape cut down for Novak stuff.

I was actually just going to use some clear stuff to be honest.
