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 $25.00

• 2.28 kg on 6S

What to pair it with

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

ESC

VCI’s full-throttle currents reach 43.4 A (1350KV, GF 7040-3) and 41.49 A (1500KV, GF 6040-3) at 24 V; pick an ESC rated above that per motor. (VCI spec sheet)

Props

VCI tested the 1350KV on GF 7040-3 and 7037-3 props and the 1500KV on GF 6040-3 and 6032-3 props. (VCI spec sheet)

Battery

6S, as VCI rates both KVs. (VCI spec sheet)

Frame

Four M3 screws on a 19 × 19 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 1350KV 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 28 × 6.5 mm stator, 37 mm bell, 24.8 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 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.
