Anyway, I have quite a few hacker c50 motors, and the c50 maxx is the same can length as a c50 l but has a shorter rotor inslide, looks to be s length. Wondering if I can replace the broken rotor with one of the l can rotors, that also has a 5mm shaft.
Now I do realized that all of the rotor assemblies are the same, only the windings change to alter the kv in the various winds in a certain can length.
Wondering what the l length rotor would do to the kv rating of the c50 maxx? I can only imagine that it would be lower, due to the increased weight of the rotor. However it would have more magnetic strength than the shorter magnet on the original shaft.
So any info would be very helpful. I can always try it out and see, but it would be nice to have some info. Not too fond of blind testing!

Hey Linc,
Outrunner man here. LOL
I do know in the 12 pole outrunners, increasing the magnet strength lowers the kv. Such as going from a regular magnet to a Neo mag set and use the same wind.
No worries though. It is a trade off. The stronger magnets produce lower kv, but WILL make alot more torque.
Swap it out, try it, and if it's slower than you like, gear it up some to compensate.
