8- to 10-inch FPV motor

BrotherHobby Avenger 2810

A 2810 for big long-range quads on 6S, tested by BrotherHobby with 6- to 8-inch props: 28 × 10 mm stator, 65 g with 25 cm leads, and 2,724 g of pull per motor on an 8-inch tri-blade on its 24 V bench (900KV).

  • 8-inch (900KV) and 7-inch (1180KV, 1350KV) long range
  • 6S
  • 6- to 8-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 2810 motor drawn from BrotherHobby’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are BrotherHobby’s bench figures for the HQ 8 × 4.5 × 3 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% throttle.

Version

BrotherHobby tested it with an 8-inch tri-blade (HQ 8 × 4.5 × 3) on 24 V and suggests a 6S 45 A ESC.

On your quad

16.8 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 10,896 g with the HQ 8 × 4.5 × 3 at 24 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 4,932 g, 7.6 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.

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 900KV 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 nominal14.813,3201,554 Hz9,324
4S full16.815,1201,764 Hz10,584
6S nominal22.219,9802,331 Hz13,986
6S full25.222,6802,646 Hz15,876

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 × 10 mm stator, 33.3 mm bell, 23 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.
