hacker c-50 13l
 

may have a chance to get this motor for a buggy at 2050kv is it worth it i plan on racing the buggy and 4 pole motors just seem to be on top right now

how much more efficent is this than my 7xl which is not cutting it, or do i save my money and get a tekin rx8 combo, at the moment i have a bk9920 running

just trying to avoid trail and error

I had that same motor in one of my 1/8 scale buggies and it is a much better motor than the 7XL (Which I also have and it performed bad compared to the Hacker). I had my buggy geared for over 50mph and it was a blast.

IMO, I'd swap out the 9920 and 7XL for either a Tekin RX8 system or MMM 2650kv combo. The 9920 is way outdated and will only run 2 pole motors and the C50 is quite overpriced compared to the Tekin and Neu motors. Just my $0.02.

I say get the Hacker motor and run it with your 9920. You'll have fun with it, untill you can swing a RX8 or MMM for easier tuning. The Hacker has plenty of power for a buggy. Heck I recently blew a foam tire on my GTP with a C50 Hacker motor.

How cheap? If not 100 or less save the money and get a MMM combo...

Agreed. CC/Neu and Medusa's are going for $100 used and are GREAT motors compared to the 7xl.

Given the choice I would get the cc 2200 motor over the hacker for 4s. For 5s the hacker is just about perfect. I run a the same c50 13l in a slayer on 5s geared for upper 40s and it does well. Gets up to about 160, but the quark 125b stays cool so I guess it is not being pulled too hard. On 4s it is a bit of a dog, and gets a bit warmer with the same gearing, and it is not as much fun cause it goes slower...

Yeah the Slayer moves pretty well with the Hacker on 5s.

I am thinking of selling it... How much should I ask?

i thought about it and bought the tekin rx8 1900kv, there goes my budget build, but you got to have quailty to race with

thanks for all your input i'll let you guys know how runs in the next few days
