The B50 is standard 540 size (36mm) but smooth can. The C series has the finned can. The XL are 75mm long, you bet they could be used in 1/8th vehicles.

Guys, his prices are damn good. If I needed any motors I would be all over these.

Hacker b50 series motors are good motors. They produce more power and run cooler than the feigaos with comparable specs. As long as the bearings and windings are in good shape, they will all be good buys. The c50 motors are better, but larger in diameter. I would say the b50 motors are a step or two below neu motors, but about 8 steps above a feigao. They are comparable to a mega or a medusa v2. The c50 motors are comparable to the neu motors. Just holding a hacker motor in your hand, you can see and feel the difference in quality and material usage over a feigao.

agreed on the prices. If I had the cash I woulda jumped, but the wifey said NO. :(. I think Linc should fund a poor mans RC addiction :P. I can trade banana's!

If I had the cash right now, I would buy at least two of them. Most guys haven't been around long enough to remember when the hackers were the "it" motor for monster trucks and such back before 1/8th conversions were even being thought of. Most everyone I knew of 5 years ago ran hacker and a few ran lehner.

Thanks guys for the kind words.

Linc;
I thought the C50 was the same as a B50 except with a finned can. Kind of like a Neu S vs F. Is that not true? I've never owned a c50 to compare.

The c50 has a sgmented magnet, like the lehner motors. It also has a completely machined can and endbells. Plus the endbells are held on with 5 screws each, which is nice for maintanence. I have not pulled the rotor out of a b50 to see if it is segmented. From what I can see, the c50 l can has almost as much power and torque as a b50 xl. I would rate the c50 l can similar to a feiago xl, and it still runs cooler. The c50 are very nicely made motors, and a good find if you can scare one up used. They are as nicely made as the neu motors, and look a bit more snazzy with the 2 tone can and endbeolls.

They are maily designed for helis, save for the c50 maxx motors, which are l cans, with a s can length magnet. The c50 maxx motor appears to have the same windings as a 13l c50, the shorter magnet raises the kv.

I currently have 1 c50 maxx, and 1 each of the following l cans: 6,8,13,14. I have been looking to try a c50 xl, I have a feeling it would be comparable to a 1521...

I know we can't discuss prices, but I hope this is okay so I don't have to reply to a million PMs. I'm dropping the price $10 on each motor. Those of you that allready contacted me know where I'm at, new inquiries PM me please.
Mods, if you don't view this as kosher let me know and I'll edit.

pm at you
