1.6 to 2-inch 1S whoop and micro motor

GEPRC SPEEDX2 1002

A 2.5 g 1002 for 1S whoops and 1.6 to 2-inch micros; on GEPRC’s 3.7 V bench the 25000KV pulls up to 103 g at full throttle on a 2-inch GF2015R two-blade.

  • 1S whoops and 1.6 to 2-inch micros
  • 1S (25000KV) or 1S–2S (18000KV)
  • 40 mm and 2-inch Gemfan props
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 1002 motor drawn from GEPRC’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are GEPRC’s bench figures for the GF2015R*2 prop at 3.7 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 GF2015R*2: 61 g of thrust, 5.6 A, 21 W, 3.22 g per watt.

On your quad

0.6 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 412 g with the GF2015R*2 at 3.7 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 242 g, 0.4 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 to pair it with

Our reading of GEPRC’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC
GEPRC recommends a 12 A ESC. Its tables peak at 15.9 A (25000KV) and 11.1 A (18000KV), both on the GF2023R*3 at full throttle, runs GEPRC marks as hot. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC datasheet)
Props
GEPRC tested five Gemfan props at 3.7 V: GF1610R*2, GF1635R*3, GF1635R*4, GF2015R*2 and GF2023R*3. The 2-inch GF2015R*2 gave the most thrust on both KVs (103 g and 76 g). (GEPRC datasheet)
Battery
1S for the 25000KV; 1S or 2S for the 18000KV. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC spec image)
Frame
Three M1.4 holes on a 6.6 mm circle; GEPRC says it suits 1.6 to 2-inch drones. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC drawing)

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:

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 25000KV 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 nominal14.8370,00037,000 Hz222,000
4S full16.8420,00042,000 Hz252,000
6S nominal22.2555,00055,500 Hz333,000
6S full25.2630,00063,000 Hz378,000

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 10 × 2 mm stator, 13.69 mm bell, 7.75 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 6.6 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.
