2–3-inch toothpick FPV motor

RCinPower GTS V2 1202.5

A 3.9 g motor for small whoops and toothpicks on 1.6–3-inch props, with a one-piece 7075 bell, pulling up to 227 g per motor on RCinPower's 7.4 V bench (11500KV, HQProp T65 mm).

  • 2–3-inch toothpicks and small whoops
  • 1S–2S (11500KV) or 3S–4S (6000KV)
  • 1.6–3-inch props
Drawing the 3D model…

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 1202.5 motor drawn from RCinPower’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are RCinPower’s bench figures for the HQProp T65 mm prop at 7.4 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

At 60% with the HQProp T65 mm: 117 g of thrust, 5.2 A, 38 W, 3.26 g per watt.

On your quad

1.4 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 908 g with the HQProp T65 mm at 7.4 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 466 g, 0.7 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 to pair it with

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

ESC
The 11500KV peaked at 12 A on 2S (HQProp T65 mm, 85 °C) and drew 4.9–8.4 A on 1S. The 6000KV stayed at or under 6.3 A up to 4S. (RCinPower product sheet)
Props
RCinPower tested 65 mm props (Gemfan 65 mm, HQProp T65 mm) and 3-inch props (HQProp T3 × 2, Gemfan GF3108). On 1S the 3-inch props pulled more than the 65 mm ones. (RCinPower product sheet)
Battery
1S–2S for the 11500KV, 3S–4S for the 6000KV. (RCinPower product page)
Frame
Four M2 screws, opposite holes 9 mm apart. (RCinPower product sheet)

Bench data

Redrawn from RCinPower’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:

  • Bell. One piece of 7075 aluminium with a three-spoke top; four M2 holes in the top, opposite holes 5 mm apart, sit around the shaft. (RCinPower product sheet)
  • Shaft. 1.5 mm where it leaves the bell and 4.7 mm long above it; RCinPower's spec table gives the shaft as 2 mm. (RCinPower product sheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 11500KV 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.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.8170,20017,020 Hz102,120
4S full16.8193,20019,320 Hz115,920
6S nominal22.2255,30025,530 Hz153,180
6S full25.2289,80028,980 Hz173,880

A 12-pole rotor has 6 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 6 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 36 times per turn.

About the 3D model

A generic outrunner drawn from RCinPower’s published sizes: the 12 × 2.5 mm stator, 15.95 mm bell, 9.1 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 9 mm mounting circle and 9 teeth and 12 magnets. Anything RCinPower 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.
