FPV motor
Hyperlite E-Series 2203.5
A 21.9 g 2203.5 in 1522KV, 2822KV and 3522KV, with N52H curved magnets, 0.2 mm Kawasaki silicon-steel laminations, NMB 9 × 4 × 4 mm bearings and a 16 × 16 mm M3 mount.
- 1522KV, 2822KV or 3522KV
- 16 × 16 mm M3 motor mounts
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2203.5 motor drawn from Hyperlite’s published sizes, not its exact design. No-load speed is KV × 22.2 V, a nominal pack for this version. Hyperlite publishes no bench data for it.

Inside the motor
A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:
- Shaft. stainless steel, 5 mm outer diameter. (Pyrodrone 2822KV page)
- Bell. Al 7075 bell cap; Al 7075 base casing (2.5 mm). (Pyrodrone 2822KV page)
- Magnets. N52H curved magnets. (Pyrodrone 2822KV page)
- Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 0.2 mm Kawasaki silicon-steel laminations (sold as a 2203.5). (Pyrodrone 2822KV page)
- Bearings. Japanese NMB 9 × 4 × 4 mm. (Pyrodrone 2822KV page)
- Base. 16 × 16 mm, M3. (Pyrodrone 2822KV page)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 2822KV 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 | 41,766 | 4,873 Hz | 29,236 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 47,410 | 5,531 Hz | 33,187 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 62,648 | 7,309 Hz | 43,854 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 71,114 | 8,297 Hz | 49,780 |
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 Hyperlite’s published sizes: the 2203.5 stator, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything Hyperlite 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.
