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
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.
- Max thrust
- 2,724 g
- HQ 8 × 4.5 × 3 prop, 24 V
- Weight
- 65 g
- with 25 cm leads; the test reports give 64.37 g (900KV), 63 g (1180KV) and 64 g (1350KV, 1500KV)

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 8 × 4.5 × 3: 1,233 g of thrust, 12.4 A, 298 W, 4.14 g per watt.
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:
- Bell. 7075 aluminium bell cap, φ33.3 mm. (BrotherHobby product page)
- Shaft. Hollow titanium alloy, 5 mm with an M5 thread. (BrotherHobby product page)
- Magnets. N52H arc magnets, 14 poles. (BrotherHobby product page)
- Stator. 28 × 10 mm with 12 slots, in 0.2 mm Kawasaki silicon steel. (BrotherHobby product page)
- Bearings. NMB, 12 × 6 × 4 mm. (BrotherHobby product page)
- Base. 7075 aluminium, with four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; 18 AWG leads, 25 cm. (BrotherHobby product page)
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.
| Battery | Volts | No-load rpm (KV × V) | Electrical frequency | ESC steps per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4S nominal | 14.8 | 13,320 | 1,554 Hz | 9,324 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 15,120 | 1,764 Hz | 10,584 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 19,980 | 2,331 Hz | 13,986 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 22,680 | 2,646 Hz | 15,876 |
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.
