Hacker C50 Maxx

I agree that Hacker C50's are nice. As well, I have a nice vintage Tamiya Avante with an original gold Tamiya 1200 battery and a Tamiya Dynotech 02H motor. The Tamiya Durga I just picked up with a MM5700 and 3s Zippy lipo cost a fraction of what the Avante is worth. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this..

Yep, you are basically saying that there are better options than the hacker, for the same price. I agree, but still like the hacker. I ran mine til the shaft broke in a hyper7 and the performace was great, and it ran cool. I now run a c50 8l on 4s in that buggy. Gearing is low, 11/46, but that buggy flies, and the equipment seems to be ok! Not a common setup, but works great for me.

The c50 line are very well made, I have a few and have had excellent power and service out of them. They are a bit overpriced new, especially compared to the medusa motors, which appear to be the perfect motor, cheap and powerful/effecient. I wish someone would directly compare them to a neu. I guess I could do that, just need to buy a 1512 1500kv motor to compare to the 36/60/1500 I have. The neu is twice the price, and i really do not see it performing twice as good in a buggy.
