What to pair it with

Our reading of BetaFPV’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC

BetaFPV calls for at least a 40 A ESC. On its bench the 1860KV draws up to 37.20 A at 24 V and the 2500KV up to 44.37 A at 16 V, both on the Gemfan 51466 MCK V2. (BetaFPV product page, BetaFPV 1860KV drawing and bench table, BetaFPV 2500KV drawing and bench table)

Props

BetaFPV recommends Gemfan Freestyle 3S, Hurricane 51433 and 51466 MCK V2 three-blade props on 5 mm shafts, and tested all three. (BetaFPV product page, BetaFPV 1860KV drawing and bench table, BetaFPV 2500KV drawing and bench table)

Battery

6S for the 1860KV, 4S for the 2500KV. BetaFPV suggests 6S 1300 mAh or 4S 1500 mAh 120C packs, for a takeoff weight of about 600 g or 580 g. (BetaFPV product page, BetaFPV banner)

Frame

5–6 inch frames; four M3 screws on a 16 mm circle. M3×8 and M3×10 screws come in the box. (BetaFPV product page, BetaFPV 1860KV drawing and bench table)

Bench data

Redrawn from BetaFPV’s test reports. Thrust is static pull on a bench, more than you get in flight. Power is volts × amps; efficiency is thrust divided by power.

Inside the motor

A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:

• Bell. 7075 aluminium, silver, with a blue-anodised top cut in what BetaFPV calls a snowflake pattern. (BetaFPV product page, BetaFPV product photo)
• Magnets. Sintered NdFeB N52SH arc magnets. (BetaFPV product page, BetaFPV banner)
• Stator. 23 mm across and 6 mm tall with 12 slots, stacked from 0.15 mm silicon steel; 14 magnet poles. (BetaFPV product page)
• Bearings. NMB bearings. (BetaFPV product page)
• Shaft. 5 mm TC4 titanium alloy with an M5 thread, standing 12.3 mm above the bell. (BetaFPV product page, BetaFPV 1860KV drawing and bench table)
• Base. Four M3 holes evenly spaced on a 16 mm circle. (BetaFPV 1860KV drawing and bench table)
• Leads. 20 AWG wires, 160 mm long. (BetaFPV product page)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1860KV version reaches about these speeds; a prop loads the motor and brings it down, typically to around 70–75% of these figures at full throttle.

A 14-pole rotor has 7 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 7 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 42 times per turn.

About the 3D model

A generic outrunner drawn from BetaFPV’s published sizes: the 23 × 6 mm stator, 29.3 mm bell, 18.3 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything BetaFPV doesn’t publish is typical for a motor this size, and the bell’s spoked top, the base and the inside are a generic design, not this motor’s. The colours are read off the maker’s product photos. There are no logos or markings: it is our drawing, not the maker’s.
