What you get for $49.90

• Built to run cool

  T-Motor says its heat-dissipation design, a top with staggered ribs, keeps the motor cooler in flight.

• Coated stator core

  T-Motor calls it its first stator core finished by electrophoresis, for corrosion resistance and stability.

• Two windings

  500KV for 6–12S and 700KV for 4–8S, both for 9–11-inch cinematic drones, per T-Hobby.

• Bench data for both KVs

  Thrust, current, power, RPM and torque in 10% steps on 10- to 11-inch props at 24–48 V; at full throttle the 500KV pulled 7142 g on an HQProp 1145 at 48 V.

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 10 s is 79.4 A for the 700KV and 68.9 A for the 500KV. T-Hobby suggests T-Motor's V70A SE 4-in-1 stack. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Hobby product page)

Props

T-Hobby recommends T-Motor's Cine 10.5 × 5. On it at full throttle the 700KV pulled 6028 g at 32 V and 3936 g at 24 V, and the 500KV 6837 g at 48 V. (T-Hobby product page, T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)

Battery

6–12S for the 500KV, 4–8S for the 700KV. (T-Hobby product page)

Frame

8–11-inch X4 and X8 cinematic and heavy-lift platforms, per T-Motor. Four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle. (T-Motor product page, 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. 37.2 mm across, dark grey, with a red top of radial fins round a knurled centre. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report, T-Motor product page)
• Shaft. 5 mm inside and outside by T-Motor's table, with 8 mm of M5 thread; it stands 17.5 mm above the bell. (T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)
• Stator. 31 mm across and 20 mm tall, 12 slots under 14 magnet poles, with a core coated by electrophoresis. (T-Motor product page, T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)
• Base. Black, with four M3 holes on a 19 mm circle; 16 AWG leads, 250 mm long. (T-Motor product page, T-Motor drawing, specs and test report)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 700KV 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 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 31 × 20 mm stator, 37.2 mm bell, 38.6 mm height, 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.
