What it pulls

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

What you get

• 5.6 g

  5.6 g with 5 cm leads in all three spec tables; RCinPower's scale photo shows a motor at 5.23 g.

• Most efficient at low current

  RCinPower gives over 85% efficiency at 2–5 A for the 6000KV, 2–6 A for the 8000KV and 3–7 A for the 11500KV.

What to pair it with

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

ESC

RCinPower rates the 6000KV at 16.9 A, the 8000KV at 22.5 A and the 11500KV at 30.1 A (its 3S figures); on 2S the 11500KV drew up to 29.1 A on the Gemfan 3018 two-blade. An ESC rated for 25 A per motor covers the 8000KV; the 11500KV needs 35 A. (RCinPower 6000KV sheet, RCinPower 8000KV and 11500KV sheets)

Props

RCinPower's sheets list Gemfan 2020 and D51 ducted four-blades, Gemfan 2540 and 3016 and DALProp 3018 and 3028 three-blades, and a Gemfan 3018 two-blade. On 2S at full throttle the 11500KV pulled 382 g on the Gemfan 2540 (77 °C) and 396 g on the 3018 two-blade (82 °C). (RCinPower 6000KV sheet, RCinPower 8000KV and 11500KV sheets)

Battery

2S–3S for the 8000KV and 2S–4S for the 6000KV; RCinPower's table gives 2S–4S for the 11500KV but tested it on 1S and 2S. (RCinPower 6000KV sheet, RCinPower 8000KV and 11500KV sheets)

Frame

Four M2 screws, opposite holes 9 mm apart. (RCinPower 8000KV and 11500KV sheets, RCinPower 8000KV sheet (mirror))

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; the prop bolts to the bell's hub with four M2 screws, opposite holes 5 mm apart. (RCinPower 8000KV and 11500KV sheets, RCinPower 8000KV sheet (mirror))
• Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 13 × 3.2 mm (RCinPower names the motor 1303; its spec tables give a 3.2 mm stator height). (RCinPower 8000KV and 11500KV sheets)
• Base. 4 × M2 holes, opposite holes 9 mm apart (9 × 9). (RCinPower 8000KV and 11500KV sheets, RCinPower 8000KV sheet (mirror))

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 8000KV 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 RCinPower’s published sizes: the 13 × 3.2 mm stator, 16.5 mm bell, 10.1 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 9 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 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.
