Drone Motors

9–10-inch X4/X8 cinematic motor

T-Motor Cine77 3610

T-Motor's 3610 for 9–10-inch X4 and X8 cinematic drones in three windings, 977KV for 6S, 777KV for 8S and 477KV for 12S; on T-Motor's bench the 977KV pulls 5506 g on a 12 × 4 two-blade at about 22 V.

  • 9–10-inch X8 and X4 cinematic drones
  • 6S (977KV), 8S (777KV) or 12S (477KV)
  • 10.5-inch cinematic tri-blades
Drawing the 3D model…

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 3610 motor drawn from T-Motor’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are T-Motor’s bench figures for the P12X4X2 prop at 24.03 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 10% throttle.

Version

T-Motor's 6S setup: an X8 on C10.5X5X3 props with two C80A 8S 4-in-1s, take-off weight within 8 kg (13 kg at most). Max thrust 5505 g.

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 P12X4X2: 2,770 g of thrust, 28.1 A, 656 W, 4.22 g per watt.

On your quad

33.9 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 22,024 g with the P12X4X2 at 24.03 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 11,080 g, 17.0 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 $65.90

  • Over 6 kg of thrust

    T-Motor quotes more than 6 kg from one motor; on its bench the 477KV pulled 6429 g on a 12 × 4 two-blade at about 47 V.

  • Flight times with a camera load

    T-Motor says it flies over 7 minutes with a 2.5 kg load on 6S, 8S or 12S. In the flight tests listed with its X8 setups, on 5500 mAh packs with a 2 kg load: 8 minutes on 6S (977KV), 10 on 8S (777KV) and 11 on 12S (477KV).

  • Wider stator

    T-Motor says the wider stator raises torque, for finer control at low throttle and quicker response at high throttle.

    Source: T-Motor product page

  • Built for long high-throttle flights

    T-Motor says the large diameter sheds heat, so it holds thrust through long high-throttle flights, and that it runs on its C80A 8S 4-in-1 without desyncs.

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 92.8 A for the 977KV, 88.8 A for the 777KV and 58.8 A for the 477KV. T-Motor pairs the 977KV and 777KV with two C80A 8S 4-in-1s and the 477KV with eight single C80A-12S ESCs, and suggests 30% startup power, auto timing and 16 kHz-by-RPM PWM. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test data)
Props
C10.5X5X3 in all of T-Motor's setups. T-Motor also benched each KV on C9.5X5X3, HQ1050X3 and a 12 × 4 two-blade; the two-blade gave the most thrust (5506 g on the 977KV at 92.83 A). (T-Motor drawing, specs and test data)
Battery
6S for the 977KV, 8S for the 777KV, 12S for the 477KV; T-Motor's flight tests used 5500 mAh packs. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test data)
Frame
X8 in T-Motor's setups, take-off weight within 8–9 kg; T-Motor sells it for 9–10-inch X4 and X8 cinematic drones. Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test data, 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:

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 977KV 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.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.814,4601,687 Hz10,122
4S full16.816,4141,915 Hz11,490
6S nominal22.221,6892,530 Hz15,183
6S full25.224,6202,872 Hz17,234

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 36 × 10 mm stator, 43.8 mm bell, 5 mm shaft, 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.
