Not sure if anyone is interested but here are a few pics of the inside or my newly aquired Hacker C50 13l. I will say that this is a very nicely made motor, much better than a feigao motor. Nice to see it has segmented magnets, not sure what benefit they have, but I am sure someone will chime in and let me know. Machining and anodising are flawless, and the screw on endbells are nice too. The wiring inside is very neatly laid out too. I intend on running this in my LS10 on 5s lipo thru a quark 65. Not sure if the little quark will hold up, but I intend to add a proper heatsink and a few caps to it. It did fine in stock trim on my 2wd emaxx with an align 600l and xl motors, so I think it will be ok.

Nice pic's, I don't see any external balancing epoxy or holes. Anyone know how/if this motor is balanced...

P.S. just watched one go off on e-bay last week, is this it?

Yep it is the same motor that was on ebay.

I tried it out on 5s tonight in my LS10. Wow!

Tons of power and it did 43mph according to the radar gun. Never even got warm, even with alot of low speed running and hard braking. I even tried it on 4s thru the MM and it ran much better than the feigao 10l it is replacing.

The 5s runs were done with maxamps 5k lipos, 2s and 3s packs ran in series. I used my trusty quark 65 roadster and it did not get warm. I did notice that it is loose on the thermal pad, so some heatsink modding is in order. I intend to add a finned heatsink and make a new box for it, similar to the mm. And add a larger cap on the input wires to. I may re-arrange my setup to accomodate two 2200 20c 5s lipos, not sure yet, but I would like better balance.

I have a couple Hackers too. I like them alot they are very quality motors. IMO they run almost as good as a Lehner or Neu tmep wise.

aaarrrrggggg, I knew I should have bid on that

I decided I wasn't going to get into the bidding if it got over $50 since I don't really need another motor yet. Glad it went to you lincpimp

and cheap too
