2–3-inch toothpick FPV motor

T-Motor M1106

A 7.2 g one-piece-bell micro motor for 2–3-inch toothpicks and 90–110 mm whoops, with N52 arc magnets and NMB bearings, in one 6000KV winding; it pulls 358 g on a 3-inch Gemfan 3028 at full throttle on T-Motor's 3S bench.

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 1106 motor drawn from T-Motor’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are T-Motor’s bench figures for the GF3028-3 prop at 12.6 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 20% 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 GF3028-3: 146 g of thrust, 4.3 A, 54 W, 2.73 g per watt.

On your quad

2.2 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 1,430 g with the GF3028-3 at 12.6 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 585 g, 0.9 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.

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 6000KV 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 nominal14.888,8008,880 Hz53,280
4S full16.8100,80010,080 Hz60,480
6S nominal22.2133,20013,320 Hz79,920
6S full25.2151,20015,120 Hz90,720

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 11 × 6 mm stator, 14.5 mm bell, 13.9 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.
