8- to 10-inch FPV motor

EMAX ECO II 3210

A 99 g motor for 8 to 10-inch quads: 32 × 10 mm stator, 12N14P, 19 × 19 mm M3 mount, in four KVs from 800KV (6S–8S) to 1200KV (6S), and up to 4,378 g of pull on EMAX’s bench (900KV, HQ8045 at 32 V).

  • 8 to 10-inch long range and heavy lift
  • 6S–8S (800KV, 900KV) or 6S (1050KV, 1200KV)
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 3210 motor drawn from EMAX’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are EMAX’s bench figures for the HQ8045 prop at 32 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% throttle.

Version

For 8 to 9-inch props; tested at 25 V on 9-inch props and at 32 V on 8-inch props.

What it pulls

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

At 60% with the HQ8045: 1,918 g of thrust, 19.9 A, 632 W, 3.04 g per watt.

On your quad

26.9 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 17,512 g with the HQ8045 at 32 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 7,672 g, 11.8 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.

What you get

  • 4.4 kg at 32 V

    At 32 V the 900KV pulled 4,378 g at full throttle on an HQ8045 three-blade, drawing 70.55 A.

  • 6.9 g/W at 30% throttle

    On a 10-inch HQ1050 at 25 V the 800KV made 492 g at 30% throttle, at 6.91 g/W.

  • One housing, four windings

    All four KVs share the 99 g, φ39.1 × 45.8 mm housing, the 6 mm bearing shaft, the M5 prop thread and the 19 × 19 mm M3 mount.

What to pair it with

Our reading of EMAX’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC
EMAX’s peak currents, each the top of that KV’s bench tests, run from 59.4 A (800KV) to 88.6 A (1200KV). An 80 A ESC covers the 800KV to 1050KV; the 1200KV needs one rated for about 90 A. (EMAX USA product page)
Props
8 to 10-inch for the 800KV, 8 to 9-inch for the 900KV and 1050KV, 8-inch for the 1200KV. EMAX tested them on 8, 9 and 10-inch three-blades and an 8-inch two-blade. (EMAX USA product page)
Battery
6S–8S for the 800KV and 900KV, 6S for the 1050KV and 1200KV; EMAX ran its tests at 25 V and 32 V. (EMAX USA product page)
Frame
Four M3 holes, 19 × 19 mm; four M3×10 screws and an M5 nylock nut come in the box. (EMAX USA product page)

Bench data

Redrawn from EMAX’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 EMAX’s published sizes: the 32 × 10 mm stator, 39.1 mm bell, 5 mm shaft, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything EMAX 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.
