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 $15.90

• Made for toothpicks and whoops

  T-Motor built the F1204 for 2.5–3-inch toothpicks and whoops and calls it ultralight: 6.9 g with leads, 6.1 g without.

• 1.5 mm shaft

  T-Motor fits a 1.5 mm shaft, which it says fits more props.

• Bench data for both KVs

  At full throttle the 5000KV pulled 171.75 g on an HQ3020 on 3S at 5.96 A, and the 6500KV 156.34 g on the same prop on 2S at 7.04 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 6 A for the 5000KV and 7 A for the 6500KV. T-Hobby suggests a 2–3S ESC. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Hobby product page)

Props

T-Motor benched the 5000KV on 3S with Gemfan GF2540 and HQProp HQ3020 props, and the 6500KV on 2S with Gemfan GF3016 and HQ3020 props. T-Hobby lists 2–3-inch props. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Hobby product page)

Battery

Rated 2S–3S. T-Hobby suggests a 2S 550 mAh or 3S 450 mAh 75C pack, for a take-off weight of about 80 g on 2S or 90 g on 3S. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Hobby product page)

Frame

2.5–3-inch toothpick frames or 1.6–2.5-inch whoops, per T-Hobby. Four M2 holes on a 9 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. 15.5 mm across, black; four spokes in an X across the top, their cut edges bare silver, with four M2 holes on a 5 mm circle round the shaft. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Motor product page)
• Shaft. 1.5 mm, standing 3 mm above the bell. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)
• Base. Dark grey, with four M2 holes on a 9 mm circle; 24 AWG black leads, 100 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 5000KV 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 12-pole rotor has 6 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 6 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 36 times per turn.

About the 3D model

A generic outrunner drawn from T-Motor’s published sizes: the 12 × 4 mm stator, 15.5 mm bell, 12.6 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 9 mm mounting circle and 9 teeth and 12 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.
