7- to 8-inch FPV freestyle motor
Xnova 2810 Smooth Line
Xnova's 6S 2810 for 7- to 8-inch freestyle with heavy HD cameras, 69 g; the 1150KV pulls 2,715 g on an HQ 8 × 4.5 three-blade at 22.2 V in Xnova's test.

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2810 motor drawn from Xnova’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Xnova’s bench figures for the HQ8*4.5*3 tri blades prop at 22.2 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 10% throttle.

What it pulls
Xnova’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the HQ8*4.5*3 tri blades: 1,405 g of thrust, 20.0 A, 444 W, 3.16 g per watt.
On your quad
16.7 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 10,860 g with the HQ8*4.5*3 tri blades at 22.2 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 5,620 g, 8.6 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.
What you get for $44.99
Two KVs for 6S
1150KV and 1400KV, both rated for 6S and weighing 69 g with 30 cm of wire.

Bench numbers
On 22.2 V the 1150KV pulls 2,715 g on an HQ 8 × 4.5 three-blade at 51.8 A; the 1400KV pulls 2,850 g on an HQ 7 × 4 three-blade at 65.0 A.
What to pair it with
Our reading of Xnova’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.
- ESC
- Full-throttle currents on Xnova's 22.2 V bench are 51.8 A (1150KV, HQ 8 × 4.5 × 3) and 65.0 A (1400KV, HQ 7 × 4 × 3). (Xnova 1150KV prop data, Xnova 1400KV prop data)
- Props

Bench data
Redrawn from Xnova’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. Black, with red rings round the top and bottom of the bell and red cut edges on a ten-spoke top. (Xnova product photo, Xnova top photo)
- Shaft. M5 thread, standing 16 mm above the bell. (Xnova drawing)
- Base. 3.2 mm thick, with four M3 holes, opposite holes 19 mm apart. (Xnova drawing)
- Leads. 30 cm. (Xnova data list)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1150KV 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.
| Battery | Volts | No-load rpm (KV × V) | Electrical frequency | ESC steps per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4S nominal | 14.8 | 17,020 | 1,986 Hz | 11,914 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 19,320 | 2,254 Hz | 13,524 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 25,530 | 2,979 Hz | 17,871 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 28,980 | 3,381 Hz | 20,286 |
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 Xnova’s published sizes: the 28 × 10 mm stator, 34.5 mm bell, 22.8 mm height, 5 mm shaft and 19 mm mounting circle. Anything Xnova 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.
