The hackers are the weakest motors of the bunch on the track! I've tried every imaginable timing/gearing/speedo setup combo cause I didn't want to face the fact that I blew $150. Unless I've missed something?? Oh yea, and they seem to run hot too, not unusual to see 180 if they're geared at all. So.....IMO save your money bro!
Ive never had any of my hackers run over 130*. They run fairly cool, the hotter they run the slower they are. They are identical on the track to a duo. That was with stock timing for tc and full advance for 12th.
