We've been playing with the new Hacker A50 outrunners, and the performance is every bit as good as the other setups based around the NM 1912-1.5Y and/or an Actro 24-4. The "secret" is that the Hackers have 14-poles, vs 8-poles for both the Actro and the NM, so it has even lower resistance, at a given kV, and thus more torque. This allows the same sort of high performance without requiring a change to the Raptor 30's 86T/9T gearset. Check out the video we did last weekend with a completely stock Raptor 50 SE that has an AUW close to 9 pounds:

The best thing about these motors is that they are very inexpensive compared to other high performance motors in this class. The retail price of the motor itself is $150. I'm now offerring a combo package with the complete conversion kit for $179. That's $30 less than the price of a NM 1912 by itself. :) I'm also offering a package with the kit, the motor and a 10s2p-4200 Pro Lite pack for $679.
To save even more money you could use this same motor with an 11s-3000 setup of the eMoli/V28 "tool" cells. These 7-cell V28 packs have been going for $80-$90 on eBay. Potentially, this means it will be possible to have a complete, very high performance Raptor 50 conversion, costing well under $500 total, that includes the motor, conversion kit, controller and batteries. That's not bad. :)
