If reliability, cost, and performance were the benchmarks used by the regulating body for RC racing Novak would not only be out of the scene, they would be out of business.
Sorry for the rant, but I didn't want to leave you hanging.

Thank you. But why would people support such a company? There are plenty of other decent setups for brushless racing...
And one would surely think reliability and performance to be the most important factors in racing. :O
Brushless is getting less and less expensive, we're getting more and more choices, so one can hope companies such as Novak won't rule the scene anymore. The rise of Asian brushless gear is also slowly appearing all over the RC world, and it's also getting more and more reliable. Once it gets big enough it should drive western prices down too (Hopefully.).
Fortunately, the companies with the biggest and best PR campaigns won't have ALL the power anymore either. Word of mouth has gotten way more powerful with the internet.
