What to pair it with

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

ESC

MEPS suggests a 50–60 A ESC for demanding 7-inch builds. Its full-throttle tests reach 44.8 A (1300KV, Gemfan 7040, 6S) and 63.1 A (1800KV, HQ 6040, 6S). (MEPS product page, MEPS data test)

Props

MEPS tested the 1300KV with a Gemfan 8040 on 4S and an HQ 6040 and Gemfan 7040 on 6S, and the 1800KV with a Gemfan 51466 and an HQ 6040 on 6S. (MEPS data test)

Battery

4S–6S. MEPS recommends the 1300KV on 6S with 7-inch props, and the 1800KV on 4S with 7-inch props or 6S with 5–6-inch props. (MEPS product page)

Frame

Four M3 screws on a 19 mm circle (19 × 19 mm); check the frame takes this pattern. M3×8 and M3×9 screws come in the box. (MEPS product page, 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:

• Shaft. 5 mm, M5 × 0.8 thread 8 mm long, protrudes 14.6 mm above the bell. (MEPS size chart)
• Bell. one piece ("Uni-Bell"). (MEPS product page)
• Magnets. N52H arc magnets. (MEPS product page)
• Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 28 × 6.5 mm (2806.5) (MEPS's page calls it the 2806.5 stator). (MEPS product page)
• Bearings. NMB, rated by MEPS for up to 10,000 hours. (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 1300KV 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 × 6.5 mm stator, 34.14 mm bell, 19.6 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.
