7- to 8-inch FPV motor
Hobbywing RTF 2810
Hobbywing’s RTF-line 2810 for 7- and 8-inch props on 6S, 1100KV only; at full throttle on Hobbywing’s 24 V bench it pulls 3279 g on an HQ 8×4×3 and 2698 g on an HQ 7×4×3.

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2810 motor drawn from Hobbywing’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Hobbywing’s bench figures for the HQ8x4x3 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 33% 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 HQ8x4x3: 1,436 g of thrust, 14.7 A, 354 W, 4.10 g per watt.
On your quad
20.2 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 13,116 g with the HQ8x4x3 at 24 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 5,744 g, 8.8 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
About 3.3 kg on 6S
On Hobbywing’s 24 V bench it pulled 3279 g on an HQ 8×4×3 at 52.7 A, in line with its rated 3.3 kg.
Cooling rotor
Hobbywing says the RTF motors’ rotors have a cooling structure and run at full load more than 40% longer than same-size motors from other brands.

Anti-slip prop mount

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. 28 × 10 mm, silicon-steel laminations (0.2 mm by the product page) with a coating rated for 180 °C; 12 slots and 14 magnet poles. (Hobbywing datasheet, Hobbywing product page)
- Winding. Multi-strand winding of enamelled wire rated for 220 °C; the coils are tested at 500 V AC. (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing datasheet)
- Bearings. 685ZZ. (Hobbywing datasheet)
- Shaft. 5 mm with an M5 thread, standing 15 mm above the bell. (Hobbywing datasheet, Hobbywing drawing)
- Base. Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; 18 AWG 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 1100KV 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 | 16,280 | 1,899 Hz | 11,396 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 18,480 | 2,156 Hz | 12,936 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 24,420 | 2,849 Hz | 17,094 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 27,720 | 3,234 Hz | 19,404 |
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 × 10 mm stator, 34 mm bell, 23.5 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.
