What you get for $10.99

• Up to 1821 g

  MEPS's 1950KV pulls 1821 g at full throttle on 25.2 V with its SZ5145 prop, drawing 45 A; the 2050KV pulls 1790 g and the 2550KV 1423 g on 16.8 V.

• More thrust than V1

  With the 1950KV and the SZ5145, MEPS measured 1821 g at full throttle against 1605 g for the first-version NEON 2306.

What to pair it with

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

ESC

MEPS's peak currents are 44.95 A (1950KV), 49.02 A (2050KV) and 44.12 A (2550KV), about what its SZ5145 tests draw at full throttle (45.0, 49.0 and 44.1 A). A 50 A or larger 4-in-1 covers every version; MEPS suggests T-Hobby's V70A stack. (MEPS spec table, MEPS 1950KV data test, MEPS 2050KV data test, MEPS 2550KV data test, MEPS product page)

Props

MEPS tested its SZ5145 and SZ4942 three-blade props; the SZ5145 pulls 120–152 g more at full throttle, depending on KV. (MEPS 1950KV data test, MEPS 2050KV data test, MEPS 2550KV data test)

Battery

6S for 1950KV and 2050KV, 4S for 2550KV. (MEPS spec table)

Frame

Four M3 screws on a 16 mm circle (the 16 × 16 pattern of 5-inch frames). (MEPS size chart)

Bench data

Redrawn from MEPS’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:

• Rotor. A one-piece aluminium rotor with a 6082 aluminium alloy shell, which MEPS says lowers weight and improves balance. (MEPS product page)
• Winding. MEPS says V2 has an upgraded electromagnetic winding and stator compared with the first version. (MEPS product page)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1950KV 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 MEPS’s published sizes: the 23 × 6 mm stator, 28.6 mm bell, 18.6 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything MEPS 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.
