MEPS NEON 2812

What it pulls

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

What you get for $19.50

• Up to 2.76 kg with 8-inch props

  On MEPS's 25.2 V bench the 1150KV pulls 2757 g at full throttle with a Gemfan 8040 three-blade and 2735 g with MEPS's SZ8045-3; the 900KV pulls up to 2145 g.

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 34.8 A (900KV) and 57.9 A (1150KV), the full-throttle draw of its SZ8045-3 tests. Its build guide pairs both with T-Hobby's F55A Pro III 4-in-1; a 60 A ESC covers the 1150KV's peak. (MEPS spec table, MEPS data test, MEPS product page)

Props

MEPS tested a 7-inch T7456-3 and 8-inch GF8040-3 and SZ8045-3 three-blade props; its guide suggests 8045 props. (MEPS data test, MEPS product page)

Battery

6S. MEPS's guide suggests a 4000–6000 mAh Li-ion pack for 900KV cruising, and an 1800–3300 mAh LiPo for the 1150KV. (MEPS spec table, MEPS product page)

Frame

Four M3 screws on a 19 mm circle (19 × 19 mm), for 7–9 inch frames. (MEPS size chart, MEPS product page)

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 stainless steel, M5 × 0.8 thread 8 mm long, protrudes 15.2 mm above the bell (the material is from MEPS's page (S1)). (MEPS size chart)
• Bell. 6082 aluminium alloy casing. (MEPS product page)
• Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 28 × 12 mm (2812) (MEPS's page calls it the 2812 stator). (MEPS product page)
• Bearings. NMB. (MEPS product page)
• Base. 4 × M3 holes on a 19 mm circle (19 × 19 mm). (MEPS size chart)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 900KV 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 28 × 12 mm stator, 35.16 mm bell, 24.9 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.
