Hacker C50 Maxx

[Takedown]

Theirs a new one at my LHS that is being sold for $50. I plan to go and pick it up this weekend sometime. I plan to run it on 5s and not 4s which is the limit. I think it'll be fine.

How many rpm is it turning on 5s?

[Arct1k]

What is the name of the shop - Will they ship - Just kidding but that is a steal - get down there quick... Just have to watch the shaft as I recall it is 1/8th... Rgds

Kv on the standard "C50 Maxx" is 3033

I would not recommend 5s unless it's in a (relatively) light vehicle with suitable gearing for the +50000rpm it will spin. Mine ran hot in my racing emaxx with 12 cell nimh, back in the day. Around the 180-190 range after a good 5 min run in the summer.

I'm interested though to see how it does for you.

No offense, i understand what u get for the price, but why not just get the motor with the right specs.. its not worth 50 bux if its blown up

I'd assume it's going into his Cen Matrix truggy. From what he has told me, a velineon motor does not even have heat problems in that thing, so I'd assume it's pretty dang light.

The c50 maxx is a good 4s motor, not sure if I would try 5s, but at 50 bucks it is not too expensive. Do not use this motor without a slipper, as the 1/8" shaft will break. I broke one shaft in my hyper7. The shafts are hardened, and quite brittle, I even tried to weld another piece back on and have it machined, but that did not work either. Tekno sells a 5mm upgrade shaft for $75, that plus the $50 makes $125, still a good deal for that motor.

How many C50s does your LHS have?

[Takedown]

Only one lutach, :) I know I could not beleive what he wants for it either. I plan to go pick it up this weekend. Ill let you guys know. I might run it in the metrix but im doubting it. Linc Ill take a look into that upgrade. Still sounds like a great deal!

You lucky dog you . Great price on it. I think Kyle from Hacker Brushless sells the 5mm rotor assembly for $50 (Not sure, but I can't find the e-mail he sent me).

[Takedown]

Hey linc, could you give me a link to the 5mm upgraded. I cant seem to find it...

[Takedown]

I really want to know were you can get the 5mm upgrade. If I could get that I will run it on the matrix for sure.

It is $50 + $12 for shipping (Don't know why it's so high) send Kyle an e-mail kyle@hackerbrushless.com. I don't know if the price went up or down. That price was from 2007.

Thanks for the email addy lutach!

The c50 maxx uses a s can length rotor in a l length can. Basically gets higher rpm from using the smaller rotor. You could buy a l can rotor and put it in the hacker, which should give you around a 2000kv motor.

The windings appear to be a 13l, but the lighter, smaller rotor ups the kv rating.

Do you know what the l length rotors cost lutach?

I only asked for a price of the 5mm shafted rotor for the C50-maxx motor and that's what he gave. I did swap the rotor fro my 13L into the C50-maxx and they fit like a glove. So when you guys e-mail or call Kyle ask for the C50-L rotor and not the C50-maxx rotor.
