3-inch cinewhoop motor
T-Motor Cine30
T-Motor's 3-inch cinewhoop motor for 6S: 18 g, IP45-sealed, and up to 722 g of thrust per motor on T-Motor's bench (HQProp DT76-3 at about 24 V).

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2003.8 motor drawn from T-Motor’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are T-Motor’s bench figures for the DT76-3 prop at 24.04 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 10% throttle.

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.
At 60% with the DT76-3: 380 g of thrust, 7.7 A, 184 W, 2.06 g per watt.
On your quad
4.4 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 2,888 g with the DT76-3 at 24.04 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 1,520 g, 2.3 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 you get for $30.90
Sealed against sand and dust
IP45, with a built-in shield that T-Motor says keeps sand, gravel and dust out, and an electrophoretic-coated core that passed a 72-hour salt-spray test.

For full-size GoPro loads
T-Motor pitches it for chasing motorcycles and skiers with a full-size GoPro aboard. In its flight test a 570 g quad with a 1350 mAh 6S pack and a 120 g load flew 10 minutes.

Fits many frames
The shaft screw doesn't protrude below the base, which T-Motor says lets the motor fit many frame types.

Bench data in and out of a frame
T-Motor tested three 3-inch props both on the open bench and inside an Oddity frame; at full throttle the thrust ran from 629 g to 722 g at 18.42–24.95 A.

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 over 1 s is 25 A; on T-Motor's bench it drew up to 24.95 A at full throttle. T-Motor pairs it with its F7 45A AIO (6S) and suggests 40% startup power, 30° timing and 32 kHz PWM on BLHeli_32. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
- Props
- GF D76-3 in T-Motor's setup. On its bench the HQ DT76-3 pulled 722 g at full throttle, T-Hobby's T76S-3 702 g and the GF D75-3 629 g. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
- Battery
- 6S. In T-Motor's flight tests a 1350 mAh pack gave 13 minutes at 450 g and a 3000 mAh pack 20 minutes at 564 g, both without payload. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
- Frame
- Cinewhoop X4 frames, take-off weight within 700 g and 1000 g at most, per T-Motor. Four M2 holes on a 12 mm circle. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page, T-Motor drawing)

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. 24.69 mm across, dark grey with grooves and slots round the side; the black top has five spokes edged in copper, round a hub carrying four M2 prop screws on a 5 mm circle. (T-Motor drawing, Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
- Shaft. 1.5 mm, standing 3 mm above the bell. (T-Motor drawing)
- Bearings. 683ZZ ball bearings, which T-Motor says are imported. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
- Base. Dark grey, four M2 holes on a 12 mm circle, marked 6S; 24 AWG leads, 150 mm long. (Ligpower (T-Motor) product page, T-Motor drawing)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 2800KV 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.
| Battery | Volts | No-load rpm (KV × V) | Electrical frequency | ESC steps per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4S nominal | 14.8 | 41,440 | 4,835 Hz | 29,008 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 47,040 | 5,488 Hz | 32,928 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 62,160 | 7,252 Hz | 43,512 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 70,560 | 8,232 Hz | 49,392 |
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 20 × 3.8 mm stator, 24.69 mm bell, 16.9 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 12 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.
