7-inch FPV long-range motor

EMAX ECO III 2807

A 7-inch motor for long range, freestyle and cinematic rigs: 2807 stator, single-strand windings, 49.6 g without leads, and up to 2,580 g of pull per motor on EMAX’s 6S bench (1500KV).

  • 7-inch long range and freestyle
  • 6S (1300KV, 1500KV) or 4S (1700KV)
  • 6 to 7-inch 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 2807 motor drawn from EMAX’s published sizes, not its exact design. No-load speed is KV × 22.2 V, a nominal pack for this version. EMAX’s bench tables for it step by thrust rather than throttle, so they are in the bench data below, not on this readout.

What you get

  • 2.6 kg of pull on 6S

    On EMAX’s 25.2 V bench the 1500KV pulled 2,580 g at full throttle on an EMAX Avia 7040, drawing 51.3 A.

  • 5.78 g/W at 300 g

    Making 300 g of thrust on 6S, the 1300KV ran at 5.78 g/W on an EMAX Avia 7035.

  • Single-strand windings

    EMAX winds the E3 series with single strands, which it says lowers electrical resistance and helps the motor shed heat.

  • 7075 aluminium, hardened steel shaft

    EMAX says the E3 series uses 7075 aluminium to stand up to repeated crashes, with a hardened steel shaft and N52SH arc magnets.

What to pair it with

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

ESC
EMAX rates the peak current at 55 A (1300KV, 6S), 63 A (1500KV, 6S) and 54 A (1700KV, 4S). On its bench the 1500KV drew 51.3 A at full throttle on 6S. A 55 A ESC covers the 1300KV and 1700KV; for the 1500KV on 6S, choose one rated for at least 63 A. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX thrust tables)
Props
EMAX lists 6 to 7-inch props and tested its own three-blade Avias: on a 7035 the 1300KV pulled 2,290 g on 6S and the 1700KV 1,760 g on 4S; on a 7040 the 1500KV pulled 2,580 g on 6S. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX thrust tables)
Battery
6S for the 1300KV and 1500KV, which EMAX rates for 3S–6S and tested at 25.2 V; 4S for the 1700KV, rated for 3S–4S and tested at 16.8 V. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX thrust tables)
Frame
Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle (19 × 19 mm). (EMAX spec sheet)

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 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 EMAX’s published sizes: the 28 × 7 mm stator, 34.8 mm bell, 20.9 mm height, 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.
