Hey guys, I'm power hungry, and want to get a new motor that I can use with the stock esc that will give me more power; not tons, just more. I live in Arizona and the stock motor just doesn't do it for me. I talked to a guy at the local hobby store using the a40 10s and he said he liked it. Anyone use this on 6s, and if so what pinion? I'm open to other motor opinions too. Im leaning towards hacker because they pop right in and don't have much of a bearing problem from what I've read.

The only time I have actually seen another motor in a 500 was a friend using a Scorpion,not sure what one it was but I think its the only one you can use on the stock ESC whereas the others require an uprated ESC.

I have to say that it did not seem to be much more powerful at all but I did not fly it so can not say for sure.

I started a new built with a MINI PYRO 08-20 from Kontronik. I have not finished my built yet, but I am in love of this motor already.

By the way, Align introduced a new 500M, wich is very powerfull. The 500M is in every the new packaged 500 ESP kit.
