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 32.5-12 motor drawn from BrotherHobby’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are BrotherHobby’s bench figures for the Folding 1148 prop at 25.2 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% throttle.

Version

Tested on 6S with an 11-inch folding tri-blade (1148), the prop BrotherHobby pairs it with; 6S 60 A ESC listed.

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 Folding 1148: 2,239 g of thrust, 18.9 A, 474 W, 4.72 g per watt.

On your quad

25.5 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 16,568 g with the Folding 1148 at 25.2 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 8,956 g, 13.8 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.

ESC
BrotherHobby lists a 6S 60 A ESC for the 710KV and 6S 70 A for the 780KV; full-throttle peaks were 46.6 A and 57.6 A. (BrotherHobby summary, BrotherHobby 710KV test report, BrotherHobby 780KV test report)
Props
BrotherHobby’s folding tri-blades with a 23 mm hole pitch: a 1148 on the 710KV (4,142 g at full throttle) and a GF1051-3 on the 780KV (4,354 g). (BrotherHobby folding props, BrotherHobby 710KV test report, BrotherHobby 780KV test report)
Frame
Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle (19 × 19 mm); the folding props mount on top of the bell with BrotherHobby’s adapter, pins and flange nut, which come in the box. (BrotherHobby product page, BrotherHobby drawing, BrotherHobby packing list (three-blade))

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 710KV 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 nominal14.810,5081,226 Hz7,356
4S full16.811,9281,392 Hz8,350
6S nominal22.215,7621,839 Hz11,033
6S full25.217,8922,087 Hz12,524

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 32.5 × 12 mm stator, 38.2 mm bell, 28.7 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.
