What it pulls

T-Motor’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

What you get for $35.90

• Flight-tested to 480 km/h

  T-Motor says a 2816 SE 800KV 12S power system reached 480 km/h with a 3300 mAh 12S 95C pack and a range of 10 km or more, and 440 km/h carrying 500 g.

• Two windings

  1100KV for 8S and 800KV, which T-Motor's setup runs on 12S.

• Up to 5670 g on the bench

  At full throttle on a T-Hobby Cine75 the 800KV pulled 5670 g at 67.6 A from about 46.7 V, and the 1100KV 5210 g at 81.1 A from about 33.5 V.

• Made for large-pitch props

  T-Motor's setups use 7 × 13 two-blade high-speed props on a low-drag, rocket-style 7-inch frame.

What to pair it with

Our reading of T-Motor’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC

Peak current is 110 A for the 1100KV and 92 A for the 800KV. T-Motor's pictures pair the 1100KV with its C80A 8S 4-in-1 and the 800KV with its C80A 5–12S (its setup table names a V90A 12S), and the page lists AM32 and BLHeli_32 settings. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)

Props

7 × 13 two-blade props in T-Motor's setups. On the static bench at 35 V that prop drew 105.4 A for 1650 g on the 1100KV at full throttle; T-Hobby's Cine75 pulled 5210 g. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)

Battery

8S for the 1100KV, per T-Hobby; 12S for the 800KV in T-Motor's setup, though its spec table rates both 6S–8S. The 480 km/h test used a 3300 mAh 12S 95C pack. (T-Hobby product page, Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)

Frame

A low-drag, rocket-style 7-inch X4 within 2 kg, 2.5 kg at most, per T-Motor. Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)

Bench data

Redrawn from T-Motor’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. 33.4 mm across, black, with four spokes in the top round a knurled hub. (T-Motor drawing, Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
• Shaft. 4 mm by T-Motor's table, with an M5 thread, running 17 mm beyond the toothed prop seat. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page, T-Motor drawing)
• Bearings. 694-ZZ ball bearings, which T-Motor says are imported. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
• Base. Black, a 3.2 mm plate with four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; 18 AWG PTFE-insulated leads, 150 mm long. (T-Motor drawing, Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1100KV 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 T-Motor’s published sizes: the 28 × 16 mm stator, 33.4 mm bell, 33.9 mm height, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything T-Motor 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.
