7-inch long-range FPV motor

BrotherHobby Avenger 2806.5

A 7-inch long-range motor: 28 × 6.5 mm stator, hollow titanium shaft, 41 g with short leads, and 2,520 g of pull per motor on a 7-inch tri-blade on BrotherHobby’s 24 V bench (1300KV).

  • 7-inch long range
  • 6S (1300KV, 1700KV), 5S (1460KV, 1920KV) or 4S (1920KV)
  • 6- and 7-inch tri-blade props
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 2806.5 motor drawn from BrotherHobby’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are BrotherHobby’s bench figures for the HQ 7 × 3.5 × 3 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% throttle.

Version

BrotherHobby tested it with a 7-inch tri-blade (HQ 7 × 3.5 × 3) on 24 V and suggests a 6S 50 A ESC.

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 × 3.5 × 3: 1,130 g of thrust, 12.7 A, 305 W, 3.71 g per watt.

On your quad

15.5 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 10,080 g with the HQ 7 × 3.5 × 3 at 24 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 4,520 g, 7.0 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.

What you get for $26.99

  • 2.5 kg of pull on 6S

    On BrotherHobby’s 24 V bench the 1300KV pulled 2,520 g at full throttle on an HQ 7 × 3.5 × 3, drawing 44.4 A.

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 1300KV 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 nominal14.819,2402,245 Hz13,468
4S full16.821,8402,548 Hz15,288
6S nominal22.228,8603,367 Hz20,202
6S full25.232,7603,822 Hz22,932

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 28 × 6.5 mm stator, 32.9 mm bell, 19.1 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 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.
