Hacker C50 Maxx

[lincpimp]

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.

When you swaped the l length shaft/rotor in what kv did you end up with? Was it similar to the 13l, they output wires look to be the same diameter.

I have a 13l, 14l, and an 8l, and the 8l has much thicker wires coming out of it.

Thanks a bunch lutach. Thats the first upgrade I plan to get for sure when I get the hacker.

Didn't run it yet . I'm not sure if I will. I might just put the rotor back in the 13L and do some surgery on my Mr. C MBX5T kit to make it fit. I'm also undecided if I should go with the C50-13L or the ION-X that sems to be a C50-13XL, but gray instead of purple (Barney drives me crazy, I any Barney I see). I was thinking of removing the purple from all my motors .

It's a must if you don't want to snap your shaft.

And snapping your shaft sounds very painful!

One more question... Ive heard that the feigao L series rotors will fit into the hacker c50 motors. Is this true?

Even if it does, I wouldn't do it. The C50 rotors are wrapped with Kevlar and the magnet is different as well. Maybe that's why the Hacker C50s are more efficient.

Hmmmm... Good point! I will keep an eye on the hacker 5mm upgraded rotor as well.

Got an email reply, here it is:

James,



Yes we do sell a rotor that is 5mm in size for the C50 Maxx motor. The C50 L rotor will not work with the C50 Maxx motor for it has a special magnet length.



The 5MM rotor would be $75

Wow. I should reply to Kyle now and see if he still can do his $50 for the rotors . Good thing I save most of my e-mails . Might be because I was going to buy 2.

Worth a try...maybe he will give them to you for 50 each if you buy 2. I would buy one for 50 or so, see what he will do for you if you buy 3! Was the 50 quote for the stock replacement, or the 5mm version?

This is just an observation.. but a $50.00 motor which will require a $50.00 upgrade and will STILL be a very high kv wind if used.. Doesn't it make more sense to just opt for a Medusa Afterburner instead?
