Hacker Motors over Feiago?

[Nick]

I have seen some intrest in Hacker motors, but are they worth the money?

Would one easily out perform a Feiago?

Would be nice to get some feedback from a user who has both set-ups.

I'v had the C50 maxx motor - still have it actually - The motor is fine and have never had any problems with it - however the Can with the built in heatsink is so large that it limits your gearing options ( it hits the transmission case ).. As far as outperforming the feigao motors - it all depends on gearing and cell count. The feigao motors seem like an awesome bargain for what you get - thats just my .02

I'd take 2 Feigaos over 1 Hacker anyday. Theoretically, some motors are more efficient than others, but in real world running, I can't tell the difference!

I agree with ya on that one - It is a very shiny purple color though.....:)

People like the Feigao over the Hacker because it is much cheaper and the performance is almost as good.

In the real world, to gain performance it takes alot more money to reach say for example from 100mph to 150mph than 200 to 225mph. What I am trying to say is that the small performance gain is hardly ever a direct ratio of cost to benefit.

Just because the Hacker C50s are twice as much does not mean it will be twice as better. If they are better they will be by a small margin in efficiency. Also it already comes with a heatsink and C50s are better contructed and quality wise but the Feigao are awesome for what they cost and they do the job well. They look like B50 motors but much cheaper but similar in price.

So to actually answer your question.

Are the Hackers worth the money?
Well its all dependent on the individual.

Would one easily out perform a Feigao?
No, because the performance is only a slight gain which I have no actual idea how much but from what I heard it is only a small bit if any.
