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 34 A (1800KV) and 46 A (2100KV) on 6S, and 43 A (2500KV) on 4S. On its bench the 2100KV drew up to 46.5 A and the 2500KV 47.9 A at full throttle, both on a DALPROP Cyclone 5050. An ESC rated for 50 A covers every prop EMAX tested.

Props

EMAX lists 5 to 5.5-inch props for the 1800KV and 5-inch props for the 2100KV and 2500KV. On its 6S bench the 2100KV pulled 1,820–1,980 g at full throttle on five props, most on the HQ 5 × 4.8 × 3. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 2100KV payload test)

Battery

6S for the 1800KV and 2100KV, 4S for the 2500KV. EMAX rates the first two for 3S–6S and the 2500KV for 3S–4S, and tested them at 25.2 V and 16.8 V. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 1800KV payload test, EMAX 2100KV payload test, EMAX 2500KV payload test)

Frame

Four M3 holes on a 16 mm circle (16 × 16 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. Titanium alloy, M5 thread, protrudes 12.9 mm; 4 mm through the bearings. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX USA product page, EMAX product page)
• Bell. 7075 aluminium. (EMAX USA product page)
• Magnets. N54SH neodymium magnets. (EMAX USA product page)
• Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 23 × 6 mm (2306). (EMAX spec sheet)
• Winding. Single-strand, AIW enamelled copper wire rated for 240 °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 16 mm circle (16 × 16 mm). (EMAX spec sheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 2100KV 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 23 × 6 mm stator, 27.3 mm bell, 19.1 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 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.
