I would like to use one of them on the new Cap 232 BP ARF. I just cannot decide which one to go with.

Jack,the Hacker A20-20L is 1022KV compared to the E-FLite 450's of 890Kv,the Hacker would make that plane a rocket ship,depending on how long you have been flying 3D one thing i noticed was at 2-1 power to weight ratio and 3-1 and over(meaning way over powered) there was a big difference in controling it in a hover with the way over powered systems it's harder to control with so much power ,might want to try the A20-22L at 924KV if you wanted to go with a Hacker motor and not the E-Flite.In a nut shell the Hacker A20-20l would leave the 450 in the dust. IMO Olin

Ditto! I have the Hacker A20-20L on a Ultra RC profile Yak. It has PLENTY of power to do whatever you want to do. I don't think you would be disappointed at all if you go with the Hacker. JMO.

Go with the 450, power is good, but WAAAaAYYYYY too much power is never a good thing, especially when your going to try and hover and do other 3d stuff.

It'll be tough to beat the Hacker A20 series. I have both the A20-20 and the A20-22. I fly 16 ounce foamies and either motor will yank the plane vertical 30 mph.

Another reason i dont use the E-Flite line of motors is the weight,granted when i first started out in 3D it didnt matter but now as i'm wanting more power with less weight i have stayed away from them(not because of quality)Olin

You WON'T be sorry. I have a TP 1320 3S on mine and it has gobs of power, and lots of flight time too. Good motors those Hackers are...I have the A30-28 too and it's the same story. Pure power.
