Here is post #29 from, RCU "Electric Pattern Aircraft" section - http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=11468377
Hennnig, It might be best to understand some very simple facts here:
-Hacker is just a Re-brander, Nothing more, nothing less..

Hacker is just a re-brander, just like ALLthe others. Everything else is just marketing and publicity,it is just a rather huge load of very hot air.

Hacker is just one of 30 or 40 or 50 customers of the the very large and very major OEM company called SunRay Technology.
That is all it is. Just like Hyperion is another customer,Schweighofer is just another customer,Shulman Aviation is another customer,Extreme Flight is another customer, Gens Ace is yet another customer ...

Hacker has played a very large and very very successful con-trick on all of us, it has completely fooled all of us, into making us think that their purple colour motors are somehow different from other green or pink or yellow or black or orange motors.

Very very simply, Hacker just buy their motors from SunRay Technology in a purple colour. Hyperion get blue, Torque get red, and Gens Ace get green ... etc etc etc
All the other 30 or 40 or 50 OEM customers of SunRay Technology get their motors in a slighty different outside colour, and sometimes with slightly different styled endhousings. - That is it. There is nothing more complicated than this.
-SunRay Tech is just a very very large OEM company, that makes their motors for many tens of OEM customers -and the basic motor used, under the diffferent colourouter wrapping of each brand, is EXACTLYthe same underneath for ALL the 30 or 40 different brands..

-IF Hacker really DID have some ownership over the design of these motors, and its own "engineers" were involved, then of course these motors would not appearunder 30 or 40 different brand names. -They would ONLY appear under the Hacker brand name.
-In reality, there are no "Hacker engineers" involved at all, and Hacker has not contributed to the design of these motors at all. It is ALL Sunray Tech.

-The ONLY thing Hacker has the ownership of, is the purple colour on the outside of the motor.
-And also: The fact that their motors, which are identical to ALL the others, cost 4 or 5 times as much as some of the other totally IDENTICAL motors (i.e Hyperion-Z, LiPolice, Turnigy SK3, and others ...)
-So: The "R&D" of these "Sunray" motors, can be nothing at all to do with Hacker ... And it never was ...

The internal working parts of ALL Hacker outrunner motors -except perhaps for ones like the more special Q80 ...
-Are completely and totally IDENTICAL to: Torque, Z-series Hyperion;Turnigy SK3 motors; and Shulman Aviation FURY, Gens Ace, Common-Sense-RC, LiPolice, OK Hobby Infinite, Pelikan Foxy,Apache, Pilotage Nova-Line, Sonic Electric, BMI Models "Spitz" motors, Precision Aerobatics Thrust motors, Waypoint E-series motors, Viper VA, Boost motors(from Pichler -sold by Robotbirds in UK), Lipotech, MegaPower Taurus, JP E-Pro motors; ELE motors (now discontinued):

There are 25 different brands there, to be going on with -until we find more ....
