What's happened to Novak?

More specifically, why haven't they replaced the GTB with a new, adjustable/programmable, ESC...? When it comes to racing at a competitive level now, nobody even considers Novak anymore. Sure, you still see some club racers running them, but...... So, has Novak thrown in the towel???

The GTB has been out so long, they have even discontinued the 4-cell GTB. Looking back at the days Brushed motors were around, Novak had a new ESC just about every 1-2 years. They even had PC software to program the ESC's back with the Cyclone and Atom ESC's....

Also, what happened to other cool supporting stuff like Chargers, Power Supplies, Radio Modules, Discharge trays, etc... I have a old Novak N-Power 10A power supply that works great.

Seems like Novak has been focusing only on Motors, niche ESC's, or small electronics like LiPo Receiver Boosters or Regulators.

I'm a little disappointed with Novak right now, so I hope they have some cool stuff in the works.
