I don't want anything other than lots of time flying my airplanes. Hacker motors have a reputation of quality, which I am experiencing myself. Turnigy motors do not, so therefore I wonder what drives these reputations? If Hackers have a tendency to run hard and last a long time, and Turnigy motors have a tendency to work for shorter lengths of time, it would seem that the Hacker is a 'higher quality' part. That's all.

I am actually considering a Turnigy motor for my next motor purchase. It is not likely I will go that route, but I will give it condsideration. It depends on what my end goal is. If i want the least expensive way to fly a plane, I will look at a Turnigy. If I want to invest in the best equipment for my plane and expect immediate support if/when something ever goes wrong, I will opt for the company that has a reputation of delivering quality components and first class customer service. The vendor of Turnigy motors has neither.
