GEPRC GR1404

A 9.8 g 1404 with a 1.5 mm shaft, rated 2S–4S, in 2750KV, 3850KV and 4500KV; GEPRC publishes no bench data for it.

  • 2–3-inch toothpicks
  • 2S–4S
  • 9 mm motor mounts
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 1404 motor drawn from GEPRC’s published sizes, not its exact design. No-load speed is KV × 14.8 V, a nominal pack for this version. GEPRC publishes no bench data for it.

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 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.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.866,6006,660 Hz39,960
4S full16.875,6007,560 Hz45,360
6S nominal22.299,9009,990 Hz59,940
6S full25.2113,40011,340 Hz68,040

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 14 × 4 mm stator, 18.3 mm bell, 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.
