Some write it's Align's best motor ever.

The 500L has been really good to me, just passed 100 flights on it today and its still going strong I fly in idle up all the time and it comes down hot but still goes like a champ. Ive never rebuilt it or oiled it FWIW.

Using a 500l also for well over 100 flights plenty of power and no issues besides running hot. Any thoghts on wether this motor needs to be oiled , i never have but wouldnt mind doing it if its going to increase its life or make it run smoother.

Just bought an Align 500PRO DFC and wondering if I should use my scorpion 3026 instead of the stock Align 500BX motor. Looks like the Align @ 1600w and 75 amps continuous vs Scropion's1470 watts and 70 amps continuous would be a stronger motor. What do you guys think? I'm fairly new and for some reason thought Scorpion was a better motor, don't know .
P.S. loved how the Align kit went together. First real kit, did two and a half HK (2 450's and one 500) Fit and finish is is perfect.

No doubt the Scorpion is the better motor , but I have been using a 500 mx for the past three hundred flights or so on my 500 without any issues. Gives me plenty of power. I wouldn't replace it just to replace it I would wait till the 500 MX fails.
