8- to 10-inch FPV heavy-lift motor
EMAX Pro 2814
A 79.5 g heavy-lift motor for 8 to 10-inch props: 2814 stator, N52UH magnets, an M5 shaft on a 19 × 19 mm M3 base, and up to 4,020 g of pull per motor on EMAX’s 6S bench (830KV, AVIA 1050).
- 8 to 10-inch heavy lift and long range
- 9 to 10-inch props (730KV)
- 8 to 9-inch props (830KV)
- 6S
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2814 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.

4 kg on 6S
On EMAX’s 25.2 V bench the 830KV pulled 4,020 g at full throttle on an AVIA 1050 three-blade, drawing 62.4 A; the 730KV pulled 3,460 g on the same prop at 46.6 A.
6.74 g/W at 370 g
Making 370 g of thrust on an AVIA 1050 at 25.2 V, the 730KV ran at 6.74 g/W.

Rated for 180 °C
EMAX uses N52UH magnets and AIW wire rated for 220 °C, and rates the motor for 180 °C, with 200 °C as its maximum.

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 48 A (730KV) and 63 A (830KV); on its bench the 830KV drew 62.4 A at full throttle on an AVIA 1050 and the 730KV 47.4 A on an HQ 1050. A 50 A ESC covers the 730KV; the 830KV needs one rated for at least 65 A. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 730KV thrust tables, EMAX 830KV thrust tables)
- Props
- 9 to 10-inch for the 730KV and 8 to 9-inch for the 830KV. On 6S the 730KV pulled 2,760–3,460 g at full throttle on five 9 and 10-inch props, and the 830KV 3,190–4,020 g, most on the 10-inch ones. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 730KV thrust tables, EMAX 830KV 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 730KV thrust tables, EMAX 830KV 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 17.5 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 × 14 mm (2814). (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 830KV 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 | 12,284 | 1,433 Hz | 8,599 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 13,944 | 1,627 Hz | 9,761 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 18,426 | 2,150 Hz | 12,898 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 20,916 | 2,440 Hz | 14,641 |
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 × 14 mm stator, 33.2 mm bell, 28.95 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.
