7-inch long-range FPV motor
MEPS NEON 2810
A 7–8 inch cinematic and long-range motor on a 28 × 10 mm stator: 67 g with leads, and 2447 g of thrust per motor at full throttle on MEPS's 25.2 V bench (1180KV, SZ8045 three-blade).
- 7–8 inch cinematic and long range
- 6S
- 7-inch to 8.5-inch props (7040, 8045)
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 MEPS’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are MEPS’s bench figures for the MEPS SZ8045-3 prop at 25.2 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 10% throttle.

What it pulls
MEPS’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the MEPS SZ8045-3: 1,358 g of thrust, 17.2 A, 429 W, 3.20 g per watt.
On your quad
15.1 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 9,788 g with the MEPS SZ8045-3 at 25.2 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 5,432 g, 8.4 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 $24.99
10 mm tall stator
MEPS says the 28 × 10 mm stator gives the low-end torque to swing heavy 7–8.5 inch props.

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:
- Shaft. 5 mm, M5 × 0.8 thread 8 mm long, protrudes 15.2 mm above the bell (MEPS's page calls the shaft stainless steel in one place and TC4 titanium alloy in another). (MEPS size chart)
- Bell. 6082 aluminium alloy. (MEPS product page)
- Magnets. N50H. (MEPS product page)
- Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 28 × 10 mm (2810). (MEPS product page)
- Bearings. NMB. (MEPS product page)
- Base. 4 holes on a 19 mm circle, labelled M2 × 0.4 in MEPS's drawing (the same hole label as MEPS's NEON 2203.5 drawing; check the screw size with MEPS). (MEPS size chart)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1180KV 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 | 17,464 | 2,037 Hz | 12,225 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 19,824 | 2,313 Hz | 13,877 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 26,196 | 3,056 Hz | 18,337 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 29,736 | 3,469 Hz | 20,815 |
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 28 × 10 mm stator, 35.66 mm bell, 22.9 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 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.
