What to pair it with

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

ESC

On 1S the 18000KV peaked at 14.6 A and the 22000KV at 18.1 A, both with the Gemfan 2023 three-blade (82 °C and 85 °C). With 40–45 mm props they drew 8.7–13.3 A. (RCinPower 18000KV sheet, RCinPower 22000KV sheet)

Props

Tested with Gemfan 40 mm (1608, 1609, 1635), 45 mm and 2-inch (2015, 2023) props. On the 18000KV the 2-inch two-blade 2015 pulled the most (107 g); the three-blade 2023 drew the most current and ran hottest. (RCinPower 18000KV sheet)

Battery

1S for the 18000KV and 22000KV; the 10000KV is rated 1S–2S and was tested on 2S. (RCinPower 10000KV sheet, RCinPower 18000KV sheet, RCinPower 22000KV sheet)

Frame

Three M1.4 screws on a 6.6 mm circle, or two M2 screws 9 mm apart. (RCinPower 18000KV 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:

• Shaft. 1.5 mm, protrudes 3.8 mm. (RCinPower 18000KV sheet)
• Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 10 × 3 mm (1003). (RCinPower 18000KV sheet)
• Base. 3 × M1.4 holes on a 6.6 mm circle, or 2 × M2 holes 9 mm apart. (RCinPower 18000KV sheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 18000KV 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 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 10 × 3 mm stator, 13.5 mm bell, 9.2 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 6.6 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.
