7-inch long-range FPV motor
Hobbywing RTF 2807
Hobbywing’s RTF-line 7-inch motor in 1300KV for 6S, 1500KV for 5S and 1700KV for 4S; on Hobbywing’s 6S bench the 1300KV pulls 2824 g on an HQ 7×3.5×3 at full throttle.

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2807 motor drawn from Hobbywing’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Hobbywing’s bench figures for the HQ7x3.5x3 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 40% throttle.

What it pulls
Hobbywing’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the HQ7x3.5x3: 1,258 g of thrust, 13.8 A, 332 W, 3.79 g per watt.
On your quad
17.4 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 11,296 g with the HQ7x3.5x3 at 24 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 5,032 g, 7.7 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 you get for $19.99
About 2.8 kg on 6S
At full throttle on Hobbywing’s 24 V bench the 1300KV pulled 2824 g on an HQ 7×3.5×3 at 48.5 A, and 2818 g on an HQ 7×4×3 at 56.7 A.

Cooling rotor
The rotor has a cooling structure; Hobbywing says it runs at full load more than 40% longer than same-size motors from other brands.

Anti-slip prop mount
A grooved prop mount keeps the prop from slipping. Inside are arc-shaped magnets, 0.2 mm silicon-steel laminations and a multi-strand winding of 220 °C wire.

Bench data
Redrawn from Hobbywing’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. A rotor with a cooling structure and a grooved prop mount. (Hobbywing product page)
- Stator. 0.2 mm silicon-steel laminations; 12 slots and 14 magnet poles. (Hobbywing product page)
- Winding. Multi-strand winding of enamelled wire rated for 220 °C. (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing 1300KV spec sheet)
- Magnets. Arc-shaped. (Hobbywing product page)
- Shaft. 5 mm with an M5 × 0.8 thread, standing 15 mm above the bell; the last 9 mm is threaded. (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing drawing)
- Base. Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; three 18 AWG black silicone leads, 200 mm long. (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing drawing)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1300KV 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 | 19,240 | 2,245 Hz | 13,468 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 21,840 | 2,548 Hz | 15,288 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 28,860 | 3,367 Hz | 20,202 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 32,760 | 3,822 Hz | 22,932 |
A 14-pole rotor has 7 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 7 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 42 times per turn.
About the 3D model
A generic outrunner drawn from Hobbywing’s published sizes: the 28 × 7 mm stator, 34 mm bell, 20.5 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything Hobbywing 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.
