Hobbywing RTF 2814

What it pulls

Hobbywing’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

What you get

• About 4 kg on 6S

  At full throttle on Hobbywing’s 24 V bench the 1100KV pulled 4048 g on an HQ 9×4×3 at 67.1 A, and the 880KV 3777 g on an HQ 9×5×3 at 58.5 A.

• 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

  A grooved prop mount keeps the prop from slipping.

• Tested insulation

  The coils are tested at 500 V AC and the stator is coated for 180 °C; on the 1100KV Hobbywing adds rust-proofing and waterproof 685ZZ bearings.

What to pair it with

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

ESC

Hobbywing pairs it with its XRotor FPV G2 65A 4-in-1. Peak current is 58.5 A for 12 s (880KV) and 71 A for the 1100KV, whose HQ 8×4.5×3 run drew 71.4 A at full throttle, more than 65 A; Hobbywing gives 38 s for that table.

Props

Hobbywing lists the HQ 8×4.5×3 and 9×4×3 for the 880KV and the HQ 8×4×3, 8×4.5×3 and 9×4×3 for the 1100KV. The 880KV pulled 3144 g at 44.6 A on the HQ 8×4.5×3, where the 1100KV pulled 3798 g at 71.4 A. (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing 880KV load tests, Hobbywing 1100KV load tests)

Battery

6S LiPo for both KVs. (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing 880KV drawing, Hobbywing 1100KV drawing)

Frame

Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; 300 mm leads (18 AWG on the 880KV, 16 AWG on the 1100KV). (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing 880KV drawing)

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 × 14 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 880KV 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 880KV datasheet)
• Bearings. 685ZZ. (Hobbywing 880KV datasheet, Hobbywing 1100KV datasheet)
• Shaft. 5 mm with an M5 thread, standing 15 mm above the bell. (Hobbywing 880KV datasheet, Hobbywing 880KV drawing)
• Base. Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; 300 mm leads. (Hobbywing product page, Hobbywing 880KV drawing)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 880KV 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.

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 × 14 mm stator, 34 mm bell, 29 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.
