If you're comparing the PS-4002FK vs. JK Hawk 7, the Pro Slot motor is usually faster.

Especially on tracks that have voltages over 13.5 and exceptional heavy wiring. The larger 36D brushes help make more power.

Then why does everyone run Hawk 7 in their race series?

Not sure which PS motor you mean. PS has a LOT of different motors.

Because the Hawk 7 is a sealed motor you can put in a car and it will run well almost every time. No what springs or what brushes or blueprinting the brush hoods.

You should be comparing the Hawk 6 and the Pro Slot FK. The Hawk 7 is not a good match-up to the FK. Two different types of motors.

I will say in FL the Hawk 6 or Hawk 7 is used in GTP.
Pretty close in speed from my understanding.
When I raced GPF wing cars I was faster with a Hawk 7 over the Hawk 6.
That was a long time ago though.
You're never fast enough!!! 💯

Are you sure that the PS is faster than the Hawk 7... the Retro Hawk, yes the PS FK is faster, but I think the Hawk 7 is faster than the PS FK.
And as stated the Hawk 7 is sealed and there is no need to replace the brushes and springs or blueprint the brush hoods. That makes the Hawk 7 much cheaper to use.

I believe Hawk 7 is faster then the Pro Slot FK.
I haven't used a Pro Slot FK in a while though.

It would help clear things up. Most series run the HR JK. Hawk 7 is only used in GTP in FL.

This is funny. We still aren't sure exactly which PS motor the OP is even talking about

Pablo,
I threw caution to the wind and edited the title to the Pro Slot Mini that is easily their biggest current minimotor seller.

PS 4000 shell supports an entire line of motors same as the larger "C" can system. Go to Mabuchi website for design specs. The "FK-130" can is actually the sealed can with internal brushes and the "FC-130" is the snap-in style of the PS 4000 mini .

Title line says PS 4002FK.....that narrows it down pretty good.

The PS 4002FK has the same specs as the JK HR except stack length and PS has external brushes and springs. Never seen a PS 4002FK as fast as a JK H7.

I think, in this area, the 4002FK is more popular.
Regardless, I think the OP was wondering more why one motor was used more regionally, than another, not if one was a few hundredths faster than the other.
I think he got his answer.
I'm going to close this thread unless he PM's me and has more questions, and wants me to reopen it.
