VCI 2306

What it pulls

VCI’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

What you get for $20.80

• 1.4 to 1.66 kg on 6S

  On VCI’s 24 V bench the 1850KV pulled 1,386 g on a GF F3-3 at 28.64 A, and the 1950KV 1,657 g on a GF F4-3 at 38.89 A.

• Two finishes, three KVs

  VCI sells the 1850KV in its purple Titan finish and the 1950KV and 2600KV in its gold 24K finish.

• About 32–33 g

  VCI gives 32.35 g with the cable for the 1850KV, 33.11 g for the 1950KV and 32.1 g for the 2600KV.

What to pair it with

Our reading of VCI’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC

VCI’s peak currents are 30.18 A (1850KV) and 39.77 A (1950KV) at 24 V, and 44.09 A (2600KV) at 16 V; pick an ESC rated above that per motor. (VCI spec sheet)

Props

VCI tested 5-inch Gemfan tri-blades: the GF F3 and F4 on every KV, and the GF 51466 on the 1950KV and 2600KV. (VCI spec sheet)

Battery

6S for the 1850KV and 1950KV, 4S for the 2600KV, as VCI rates them. (VCI spec sheet)

Frame

Four M3 holes on a 16 × 16 mm pattern. (VCI drawing)

Bench data

Redrawn from VCI’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:

• Magnets. N52SH arc magnets. (VCI spec sheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1850KV 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 VCI’s published sizes: the 23 × 6 mm stator, 28.7 mm bell, 18.4 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything VCI 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.

VCI’s temperature is the shaft’s after a run from 0 to 100% throttle; its voltage column, the same on every row of a table, is left out, and so are three rows whose rpm can’t be right (see the model notes)..
