Drawing the 3D model…

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2510 motor drawn from BrotherHobby’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are BrotherHobby’s bench figures for the HQ 7 × 4 × 3 prop at 20 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% throttle.

What it pulls

BrotherHobby’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

At 60% with the HQ 7 × 4 × 3: 865 g of thrust, 10.9 A, 218 W, 3.97 g per watt.

On your quad

13.4 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 8,712 g with the HQ 7 × 4 × 3 at 20 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 3,460 g, 5.3 times the quad’s weight.

All-up weight is the quad ready to fly, with its battery and camera. The thrust is the maker’s static bench figure; in the air it is lower.

Props
BrotherHobby tested the 930KV and 1030KV on an HQ 8 × 4.5 × 3 tri-blade (2,717 g and 2,595 g at full throttle) and the 1380KV on an HQ 7 × 4 × 3 (2,178 g). (BrotherHobby 930KV test report, BrotherHobby 1030KV test report, BrotherHobby 1380KV test report)
Battery
7S for the 930KV, 6S for the 1030KV and 5S for the 1380KV in BrotherHobby’s tests; the spec list gives 5S–7S. There is no bench data for the 1250KV. (BrotherHobby product page, BrotherHobby 930KV test report, BrotherHobby 1030KV test report, BrotherHobby 1380KV test report)

Bench data

Redrawn from BrotherHobby’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:

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1380KV 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.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.820,4242,383 Hz14,297
4S full16.823,1842,705 Hz16,229
6S nominal22.230,6363,574 Hz21,445
6S full25.234,7764,057 Hz24,343

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 BrotherHobby’s published sizes: the 25 × 10 mm stator, 30.3 mm bell, 22.5 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything BrotherHobby 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.
