What you get for $27.99

• 3.2 kg on 6S

  On EMAX’s 25.2 V bench the 1150KV pulled 3,200 g at full throttle on a Gemfan 8040 three-blade, drawing 59.8 A; the 950KV pulled 2,850 g on a Gemfan 8060 at 47.2 A.

• 5.67 g/W at 300 g

  Making 300 g of thrust on an AVIA 8043 at 25.2 V, the 950KV ran at 5.67 g/W.

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 on 6S at 49 A (950KV) and 60 A (1150KV); on its bench the 1150KV drew 59.8 A at full throttle on a Gemfan 8040. A 60 A ESC covers both. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 1150KV thrust tables)

Props

7 to 8-inch for both KVs. On 6S the 950KV pulled 2,600–2,850 g at full throttle on three 8-inch props, and the 1150KV 3,060–3,200 g on two. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 950KV thrust tables, EMAX 1150KV thrust tables)

Battery

6S: EMAX rates both KVs for 3S–6S, gives their peak figures on 6S and tested them at 25.2 V. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 950KV thrust tables, EMAX 1150KV 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:

• Shaft. Steel, M5 thread, stands 17.1 mm above the bell; 4 mm through the bearings. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX USA product page)
• Bell. 7075 aluminium. (EMAX USA product page)
• Magnets. N52UH neodymium magnets. (EMAX USA product page)
• Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 28 × 10 mm (2810). (EMAX USA product page, EMAX spec sheet)
• Winding. AIW enamelled copper wire rated for 220 °C. (EMAX USA product page)
• Bearings. G1-grade high-speed bearings (EMAX gives no size). (EMAX USA product page)
• Base. 4 × M3 holes on a 19 mm circle (19 × 19 mm). (EMAX spec sheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1150KV 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.

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 × 10 mm stator, 33.2 mm bell, 24.95 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.
