2–3-inch toothpick FPV motor

GEPRC SPEEDX2 1202.5

A 4.53 g 1202.5 for 2 to 3-inch quads on 1S–2S; on GEPRC’s bench the 10000KV pulls 215 g at full throttle on 2S and the 15000KV 261 g, both on 65 mm props.

  • 2 to 3-inch toothpicks and micros
  • 1S–2S
  • 65 mm (2.5-inch) to 3-inch 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 1202.5 motor drawn from GEPRC’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are GEPRC’s bench figures for the HQ T65R 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 HQ T65R: 111 g of thrust, 4.9 A, 36 W, 3.30 g per watt.

On your quad

1.3 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 860 g with the HQ T65R at 7.4 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 444 g, 0.7 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 12–20 A ESC. Its tables peak at 11.3 A for the 10000KV and 17.3 A for the 15000KV, both at full throttle on 7.4 V. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC datasheet)
Props
GEPRC tested 65 mm props (GF 65R, HQ T65R) on 1S and 2S, and two more, the HQ T3×2 and the GF3108, on 1S only. (GEPRC datasheet)
Battery
1S or 2S for both KVs. (GEPRC product page, GEPRC spec image)
Frame
Four M2 holes on a 9 × 9 mm pattern; GEPRC says it suits 2 to 3-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 10000KV 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 nominal14.8148,00014,800 Hz88,800
4S full16.8168,00016,800 Hz100,800
6S nominal22.2222,00022,200 Hz133,200
6S full25.2252,00025,200 Hz151,200

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 12 × 2.5 mm stator, 16.17 mm bell, 9.2 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.
