Well just purchased a couple vintage Novak ESC's, a Super Rooster & Rooster. Along with a few vintage Trinity motors; Speed Gems Topaz 11T, Ruby 16T, Speed Gems 2 Ruby 16T and re-release Speed Gems Nitronite 12T. So the brushless may not see either of the vintage units.
Still getting the Hobbywing EZrun ESC & 4000kv motor combo simply because I like to have the variety.
