I just purchased a new Hacker A50-12S motor. The package says "Designed in Germany". Then it says, "Made in China". At any rate, its performance is identical to my other Hacker A50-12S motor. :blah:

Danged good point.

Last year, I changed a Hacker A50-10L motor battery source from 5S2P A123 cells to 6S2P A123 cells. With the same prop, the 5S2P was under powered, with 6S2P, I was exceeding...
