1.6 to 2-inch 2S micro FPV motor
GEPRC SPEEDX2 1003
A 3.2 g 1003 for 1.6 to 2-inch quads on 2S; on GEPRC’s 7.4 V bench it pulls up to 174 g at full throttle on a 45 mm three-blade, drawing 10.6 A.
- 1.6 to 2-inch lightweight quads
- 2S
- 40 to 45 mm Gemfan props
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 1003 motor drawn from GEPRC’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are GEPRC’s bench figures for the GF45mm*3 prop at 7.4 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 GF45mm*3: 97 g of thrust, 4.3 A, 32 W, 3.57 g per watt.
On your quad
1.1 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 696 g with the GF45mm*3 at 7.4 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 389 g, 0.6 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 for $13.99
174 g on 2S
At full throttle on a Gemfan 45 mm three-blade at 7.4 V it pulled 174 g, drawing 10.6 A (78.4 W).

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 12–20 A ESC. Its bench peaks at 10.6 A at full throttle on 7.4 V. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC drawing and data sheet)

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. One-piece CNC-machined 7075 aluminium, matte black with polished edges and large openings, over N52H arc magnets. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC features image)
- Stator. Kawasaki 1200 steel, 9N12P, wound with multi-strand copper wire. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC features image)
- Bearings. NMB bearings. (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 14800KV 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 | 219,040 | 21,904 Hz | 131,424 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 248,640 | 24,864 Hz | 149,184 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 328,560 | 32,856 Hz | 197,136 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 372,960 | 37,296 Hz | 223,776 |
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 × 3 mm stator, 13.6 mm bell, 8.7 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.
