Noel originally came from Townsville and started work on the Purge and Force speedies late 89, with a few of us in Townsville testing a couple of his prototypes before he went to full production down in Brisbane around 91. He was bought out by Tekin lock stock and barrel and was given no credit for his work on his work. From memory, the first "Tekin" to use Noel's software was the 410K, the one with the touch buttons on the face. You could program in the amount of power you wanted off the line, how much in middle of race and again towards the end of the race. You had to program all of this in via the buttons, and remember that it all worked in seconds for each change you made. Great speedies at the time, I still have two of them that still work like a dream, one of them in fact is still brand new in the box

forgot to mention this as well, they were also the first speedies produced that you could turn off via your transmitter, just hold your brake on full for some amount of seconds, same as what the 410K does, not sure if any others also did this.
