Having owned both, you will most likely prefer the hacker. They are very nice motors, and most likely built better than the align. Plus they have a inrunner feel, while the align spools up slower, but seems to have more torque. I wil test my align l can in the next 5s buggy I build and see how it performs with more load. My last test was in a 2wd emaxx, so not as much load on the motor.

I almost bid on the hacker, but I already have one, so I did not bother. How much did you pay? I am guess less than 65 bucks, which was a steal. Let me know if you want to sell it! You could make some money from me!
