2 to 3-inch toothpick FPV motor
GEPRC GR1106
A 7.1 g 1106 for 2 to 3-inch quads; on GEPRC’s bench the 4500KV pulls up to 275 g per motor on a GF2035BN*4 at 16 V and the 6000KV up to 318 g on a GF2540*3 at 12 V.
- 2 to 3-inch toothpicks
- 3S–4S (4500KV) or 2S–3S (6000KV, 7500KV)
- 1.9 to 3-inch props
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 1106 motor drawn from GEPRC’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are GEPRC’s bench figures for the GF2035BN*4 prop at 16 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

What it pulls
GEPRC’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the GF2035BN*4: 178 g of thrust, 5.2 A, 84 W, 2.13 g per watt.
On your quad
1.7 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 1,100 g with the GF2035BN*4 at 16 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 712 g, 1.1 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
About 275 g on 4S
The 4500KV pulled 275 g at full throttle on a GF2035BN*4 four-blade at 16 V, drawing 9.59 A.

Three KVs
GEPRC suggests the 4500KV for 2 to 3-inch props on 3–4S, the 6000KV for 2 to 2.5-inch on 2–3S and the 7500KV for 1.9 to 2.3-inch on 2S.

Bench data
Redrawn from GEPRC’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:
- Bell. CNC-machined high-strength aluminium, dynamically balanced. (GEPRC build image, GEPRC features image)
- Shaft. A 1.5 mm high-hardness steel shaft. (GEPRC features image)
- Stator. 9N12P, wound with copper wire rated to 180 °C, inside N50SH arc magnets. (GEPRC build image, GEPRC features image, GEPRC drawing and specs)
- Base. GEPRC gives the base casing as 6061 aluminium, and glues the motor wires so they can’t come loose. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC features image)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 4500KV 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 | 66,600 | 6,660 Hz | 39,960 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 75,600 | 7,560 Hz | 45,360 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 99,900 | 9,990 Hz | 59,940 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 113,400 | 11,340 Hz | 68,040 |
A 12-pole rotor has 6 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 6 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 36 times per turn.
About the 3D model
A generic outrunner drawn from GEPRC’s published sizes: the 11 × 6 mm stator, 14.2 mm bell, 14 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 9 mm mounting circle and 9 teeth and 12 magnets. Anything GEPRC 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.
