Hack u 2

I would go with the hacker only because i have seen it run and it's a good motor. Never seen anyone with the others.

i know that hacker motors are the best quality plus they have years of experience, the only thing i dont like is the solder tags, but i can always solder once and add wires and corally connections.

i dont know but the losi bl motor is very similar to the hacker, maybe its made by hacker

+1 on the hacker seen a few run great performance indeed

I've got a Hacker E40 13.5 in a B4 2WD buggy I've been racing. It's pretty good for that - however, I keep on gearing it up since it's all about torque and not rpms in that motor. On the Hacker web site, it says the unloaded RPM is about 2350kv for 13.5 vs. 3300kv for Novak 13.5. I'm using a 7.2 FDR in the B4 now and it may need more. That's a 28/78 gearing and stock is something like 21/81. At 27/78 after a 6-min race, it was about 120*F. Anyway - one weekend I had the Hacker 13.5 in a TC3 road car and it was pretty good - but I didn't have a good gearing setup for it so I went back to a Novak 13.5 which was about the same in terms of performance. Over time, I hope to get the Hacker to a point where it is geared right for racing - right now, since I'm new to B4 racing, I'm more in experimental mode than fine-tuning the buggy.

thanks for sharing, i really need an rpm for abt 3,300rpm to catch up with the others, i have found an orion vortex race 13.5t and it looks impressive, i ve heard it goes really well with my mamba max speedo, anyone use these motor

You know, that's a good price - especially with the sintered rotor installed. If I had known about those on the Novak site, I wouldn't have bought a few used Novak's on eBay. Next purchase, I'm checking the Novak site.

I'm going to try running an EX 10.5 this weekend vs. the Hacker 13.5 I had in the Associated B4 last time I raced it. Still can't keep up with the guys with the 7.5's but I like running a torque-based motor.

We have been adding more items to the remfg section of our on-line store. We will be adding some Velociti motors soon. We have included some GTBs , also. We put all of our regular Accessories in one category, so they wouldn't be spread over 3 sections.

The remfg versions of our current products come with a new 120 day warranty.

Better than EBay!
