You will likley see a stronger low end right away, that's what I remember when I replaced my Hackers with Neus. That is due to the 4-pole construction versus 2-pole. Top end power will vary depending on prop choice. I would expect at least slightly better performance from the Tacons.We will see how they perform compared to the Fieago 2 pole motors I am replacing.
Dealing with the Chinese you never know what you will get. They will actually change parts to save $0.02 in order to recover their profit. Don't expect a 'way cheaper version of one motor to be the same as the "original". The difference may not be noticeable by the average boater, but total performance and life expectancy may be by more serious boaters.
The Feigao line is an example. Copied almost exactly from the Hackers they "looked" about the same, but we now know the mags are weaker and more fragile, the windings not quite as nice and the bearings were just above junk grade. But they performed well enough for the price and helped to lower the price of top-end motors too. I set several SAW records with Fiegaos just to prove they worked (but I had to upgrade the bearings). I do realize that had I used Hackers instead my records would have been at least 5 mph higher. Most owners would never know the difference if they never ran a Hacker.

Has anyone gotten a bad Tacon?
I also ordered a Leopard 4074 - 2200 and got shipped a Tacon. I finally got an ESC to complete my electronics package and went to bench test my setup today. I calibrated the ESC to transmitter and that went fine. I pwer up the the ESC and get the proper flashes and beeps. When I hit the throttle nothing. I have swapped motor wire positions etc. I was able to get it to run once by holding about 1/4 throttle and spinning the collet by hand (like old school gas days) but that only worked once. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or is it possible motor is bad?

Thanks for the help
