8–9-inch X8 cinelifter motor
T-Motor Cine66 2812
T-Motor's 2812 for 8–9-inch X8 cinelifters: 76.7 g, in 925KV and 1155KV, with up to 3299.21 g of thrust on T-Motor's 6S bench (1155KV on an HQ9030-2).

- 6S (rated 4S–6S for the 1155KV, 5S–6S for the 925KV)
- 8–9-inch props
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2812 motor drawn from T-Motor’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are T-Motor’s bench figures for the HQ9030-2 prop at 24.9 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% 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 HQ9030-2: 1,496 g of thrust, 15.4 A, 381 W, 3.93 g per watt.
On your quad
20.3 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 13,197 g with the HQ9030-2 at 24.9 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 5,986 g, 9.2 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 $45.90
Up to 3.3 kg of thrust
T-Motor quotes a 3.3 kg maximum; on its 6S bench the 1155KV pulled 3299.21 g on an HQ9030-2 at 54.52 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 60 s is 54.5 A for the 1155KV and 50.5 A for the 925KV. T-Hobby suggests a 4–6S ESC; Ligpower's matching guide names T-Motor's C55A 8S 8-in-1. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Hobby product page, Ligpower (T-Motor) product page)
- Props
- T-Motor benched both KVs on HQProp HQ8040-3, HQ8045-3, HQ9030-2 and HQ9050-3 props. On 6S the 1155KV pulled the most on the HQ9030-2 (3299.21 g at 54.52 A) and the 925KV on the HQ9050-3 (2922.81 g at 50.47 A). T-Hobby lists 8–9-inch props. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Hobby product page)
- Battery
- 6S in T-Hobby's setup (a 6S 5200 mAh 75C pack). T-Motor rates the 1155KV for 4S–6S and the 925KV for 5S–6S. (T-Hobby product page, T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)
- Frame
- 8–9-inch X8 cinematic frames, about 3600 g take-off weight, per T-Hobby. Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle. (T-Hobby product page, T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)

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. One piece (Unibell), 34.4 mm across, matte black with grooves round the side; six spokes in the top round a knurled hub, their cut edges gold. (T-Motor product page, T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)
- Shaft. Titanium alloy, 4 mm inside the bearings; it stands 14 mm above the hub, the last 8 mm threaded. (T-Motor product page, T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Hobby product page)
- Bearings. Imported EZO ball bearings, per T-Motor. (T-Motor product page)
- Windings. Wound by hand, per T-Motor. (T-Motor product page)
- Base. Black, with four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; 18 AWG high-temperature leads, 250 mm long. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Motor product page)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1155KV 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 | 17,094 | 1,994 Hz | 11,966 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 19,404 | 2,264 Hz | 13,583 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 25,641 | 2,991 Hz | 17,949 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 29,106 | 3,396 Hz | 20,374 |
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 × 12 mm stator, 34.4 mm bell, 25.95 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.
