Man thank you so much I’ve been watching all your videos it has help me sooooo much once again thank you sir keep up the great work
Great video Stu! Very practical content for those getting started (like me)... only thing I missed is brushed/brushless types which I do no think they are mentioned. I know brushless is the most common motor anyway but I came across 70/90mm frame quads using them. Anyway, thank you so much!
Your channel has great promise. I also am looking forward to racing but have not yet decided on which drone.
All About Drones make one. it's not as hard as you think.
are you interested in our drone motor? www.crazy-motor.com
I just enter into this hobby because your amazing videos... cheers!
watching the video sure taught me alot thanks for posting!!
love the educational vids, nice job.
Thankx as always, nothing much changes ,maybe magnets.have a good week!
Perfect! Just what I needed, Thank You.
+Andre Cardona : )
Great video as usual Stuart :)
Thanks for sharing and happy sunday
+ABMNS PRODUCTION Cheers mate. You too. its raining and cold here : (
UAVfutures Sorry to hear that man!
It's around 38 ~ 40°C here in Bangkok since a couple of months if i can make you feel better, staying outside 10 minutes is really something lol
No worry better day will come, they always come ;)
Helpful stuff! Thanks for that!!!
Very use full video Stu. Keep up the good work.
+Rich Lees (TubeRider) :)
we are professional drone motor manufacturers with brand crazy-motor. more info. about our brushless dc motor www.crazy-motor.com
i have some 2306 motors, and they do a good job of spinning those 5x4.5x3 bullmose props I have. Massive amp draw though!!! love the videos! that atom quad is so cool! haha
+Jonathan Kelting thanks mate. Really glad you are enjoying them. I love making them
Great video as usual!! Thank you.
+nick newman Thanks mate.
Cheap and Available are good motors run also. Great vid, thanks
Great video helped a lot.
your videos help a lot thanks heaps
Great video, very informational. I'm new to this and gathering as much info as possible. I'll probably build a qav210 and I was interested in the Lumenier RB2205C-12 with ceramic beatings. It has 2400 kv and I assume I'd use a 5" prop. Would this be a good balanced setup? I'm still learning about power but I assume that would need 4s, correct?
Very late to the party but just started looking at the quads, what would you suggest for a 100mm build, I am currently looking at either 1103 or 1104, is there really much difference in these?
Great Video!
I have a 2 in 1 6A ESC of Racerstar, which of the following motors works best with it?
1) 1104 7000kv
2) 1104 6500kv
3) 1104 4000kv
all rated for 1-2 cells
and what propeller should I use?
Thanks.
What frame is that to your left? I'd love to source a quality frame that size. Great video, very helpful!
Awesome info dude !
Informative. Thanks.
I hope you can help me with this I wanted to build a mini quad with maximum distance and flight time so after lots of research ended up with t-motor 1806 1400kv which is very effective with 6" to 8" props. I don't room for that size prop and can't find a nicer frame my question is if I use the 5" six blade props for team racekraft would hat compensate for the smaller prop size? Thanks
great video!
thanks for sharing!
+RC Team Austria Thanks for watching : )
If you use motors that are the exact same spec, but different brand, would it work? how bad is to do it?
thx, very helpfull!
Which 2300KV motor is most efficient? How can you tell from those charts you mentioned?
Thanks I'm new to this and I am thinking of upgrading the wizard x220 with emax motors when I get more advanced
good idea
what size screws does the 1306 motor use to fasten it to the mount?
Hey Stew! Which motor is the easiest and cheapest to upgrade my wizard 220? I have a set of 1804 2400kv ZMR's. Would that be an upgrade?
I've a question. Ive ordered some br2208 1400kv racestars. What is the best recomended prop and frame for this. Want gps in and some leds and decent cam. For an all-rounder?
that looks fun
Do you have an updated video on this subject?
I'm looking for a good motor to put on 5 inch quad, a beginner setup, I'd prefer longger time flights over top end speeds...
soo i'm pointing to a 2205 2300kv motor maybe.
How do I compare motor specs? where to look?
cheap vs expensive motors?
What's your advice?
Cheers
Stew, we love your videos
awesome, thanks for your support guys. Lots more exciting stuff to come
I just watched your video and i have a question regarding thrust.I am trying to create a drone in which each motor can carry up to 250gms (not for racing purposes). While buying motors online almost none of the manufacturers give the thrust table or specify the max load the motor can carry.I was wondering whether there is a way to calculate the thrust given rpm,kv and other such parameters because i am having a hard time deciding which motor to buy.Also i cannot afford to create a thrust calculating bench so that's out of question. IS there any other way to know the thrust generated by the motor??
great video, thank you!
dunno if you guys cares but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf these days xD
@Arthur Bronson definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)
Hey guys I need help!
What are the top 5 most efficient motors for a 210mm drone with 5" propeller? What should I get if I want my drone to be nimble, but super efficient as well? Thank you!
Well done Stu, if I had found this video six months ago I would have been very happy. :)
+AeroScrew well I hope it still made you happy even though its 6 months late : )
I second that but, last year.
Carrboro_Chapelhill Fpv haha sorry...
UAVfutures Sure did!
please help me, what type of quad rotor and rotor size for my ky101 drone so i can replace it?
how can i get my hands on a controll bord that is capable of moveing a 12 volt motor and controlling it ?
great information thanks
: )
Stu can you do a budget build on a hexadrone and on how to get the most flight time out of your drone?
Best affordable motor off banggood for a total beginner? Im planning on using 4s battery and a Realacc X210 Pro 214mm 3K frame.
I have a 200 mm quad with 3000 kv motors .. looking to get more power ,thrust and run on a 2s or 3s battery. Which motors would you recommend and props ?
Excuse me sir, i was just wondering if i could use my x-1505 tarantula receiver(board) for building a racing drone if i change the motors. Would that be possible? If yes, what kind of motors should i use? Brand, weight or any suggestions? Please
How would you know what prop size goes with motor?
where do you buy all your parts from? im also in australia and i can't find anywhere to buy parts so i can only get my hands on bang good parts
I can't figure how may I calculate motor A. I got thr motor n looking for how many A's can use that motor. bt didn't have anything about A. please help me to figure that.
Hey Stu, I'm new to this hobby and have learned to fly on toy grade quads. I want to build a quad that I will fly line of sight for a bit and then put some fpv gear on later. I want to use 11mm motors (small frame) and I would like to build this as cost effective as possible being my first build. Would would be the best bang for your buck brand of motor in your opinion. I am not looking to break the bank on this one! Cheers from New Brunswick Canada!
I dont think LOS and 11mm work well together sorry.
I would say get the beginner kit I reviewed recently. It does not come with fpv gear. And when you are ready you can add it in and have a proper racer.
Great vid
+Don Johnson : )
can you recommend me a good 6s motor for a 250
Hi, am Archit
I want to make a hexachopter which flies - high altitudes, long distances and with good speed. Please suggest me the best specifications which i will need to fulfill the requirements.
Im building a 500 size Quadcopter and my question is why not use an Emax 2205 2300Kv @ 20A=700grams instead of an Emax 2208 1500 @ 15A=600grams and the 2212 920kv is only about 100grams more at 800grams. What am I missing?
Also love your video program👍
what's the best motors I can upgrade my Kingkong ET 125 with? Anybody have any suggestions?
How can you tell how many amps a motor will draw on your ESC's
Please help me,, I wanna build a really fast quad and don't know what specs would be the best... I have a budget of 20000 without any fpv
so a 2403/2300kv would be underproped with a 5 inch propeller?
thanks for sharing
+Alex Castignani pleasure, hope it helped
Which motors and propellers can i use for a hexacopter
my zmr 250 just burnt one of the 12a simon k esc"s that the quad came with,,,im only running 3 s turnigy 45-90c 1300mah and i've got 6045 props and the 2204 2300kv ,will putting 20a escs fix my problem ,i've heard the 6 inch blades use alot of power so does my battery lol...will they need a change? ... don't want to fry my new 20a as i don't know if they will be enough .this is my first quad so im confused at the moment
20a will be fine on 3s
thanks for replying
what do you suggest for a 3d printed tank i am building?
its being designed with real mechanical power train (1 motor for everything+servo for clucth and gear selector)
because 10-40k rpm seem wayyyy too much for 3d printed part
i hate the KV rating i want my volt x amp back !!
ik its kv*volt=rpm but
i need to know the amp ! >_>
best size motor for 4 inch?
I am a beginner and mine is flying on 8.4 v 2s 850 mah what kind of motor can i buy for that than beqease its only a 8.4v ps srry for my englisch iam dutch😅
I want to build my first Quad, but im stuck. Could you tell me what do you thinck about: Selfmade 3D Printed Frame + 4x20A ESC + 4x 1040 Props + 2216 880kv Motors @ a 3S 5000mAh battery controlled by Flysky Remote and a cheap F3 flight controller. I want to juse it to fly Around with an GoPro on a Gimbel and a small FPV Camera, so i tried to find big Motors for Big props for low RPM. At the Datasheet of Motors i see there are 4,4A @50%@3s Lipo to lift 300gramms. So i calculated 1200g @50%@ 17,6 A will take about 15 min in Air.
How do you choose the correct ESC?
Would it be good if I ran emax 2205 red bottom motors with tri blade props using a 3s battery and 20a blhelis esc?
yes
please contact us www.crazy-motor.com to discuss with us more about how to select a suitable brushless dc motors for your drone, we are professional motor manufacturers.
if ve take 4s battery. can ve use same 20 esc?
What size prop should I put on a 2700kv
i want to wake my old 250 quad up it has t-motor mn 2204-16 2300 kv motors with 12 amp esc's. its really slow for my taste and i want to put some bigger esc and motors on what would you recomend? i run 3s i tried 4s but i actually didnt notice a big speed boost
rayikaikin just try getting larger props !
Hey stu what propeller do you recommend for the 2204 motor ?
which flight controller is best n cheap. I am thinking of buying naze32,but it has many versions n also about multuwii... very confused, help me plz...
I like the kakute FC
hey man i just made a phantom 1 electronics into a phantom 2 shell with new motor's same kv and so i soldered on the first motor which is the back left and then i plugged everything im to test if it's spinning the right way and so then i soldered on the 2nd back right motor and also tested it then i just did the other 2 at same time and tested it and so i had to rotate the naza 180° so that the arrow will look forward and so when i put everything together and took of it just instafliped on me and i realised that the first 2 motor's i did are going into full throttle and that's what's making the flipover what do u think i should do some people told me that the drone needs to be fully calibrated with laptop do u think that will fix my problem what do u think? awesome video's btw i like yo drone collection (::
insta flip means you have one motor is rev rotation check that
what is the recommended size of the propellors for a 920 kv motar???Please tell how much thrust will the motar provide?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
what is the smallest that can lift goprostyle cameras
What about the left motor?
It helped
so the lower the ohms, the more efficient the motor??
how do you know if it will mount to the frame of quad? are they universal?
MrFantasticJackson yes
When buying your frame and motors find the bolt hole spacing
No cause I had to slit my holes with a Dremel tool to get bigger motors in my runner 250r
I'm trying to build my own quad and was planing to use these motors Original DJI 2312 960KV Brushless Motors For DJI Phantom 3 Pro, I have a syma x8w that I plan to turn brushless, what are all the stuff I need to make it happen, ESC, props, flight controller etc.
you can buy a carbon fiber frame that will perform better and be easier to build for pretty cheap...
You won't burn the motors by to big props, however you will burn the ESC as Amps will exceed nominal value
We can use racerstar motor 2205
well said
What is the voltage of the battery
Where do you buy your motors?
Очень полезное видео, спасибо!
don't know what this says sorry.
he said very helpful video and thx
I am building a 150 quadcopter. I need some motor that runs 3545 props (3 and 1/2 inch). What motor is best for that?
1306 4000kv
Hi Stu. I'm trying to built casting drone for fishing. It should be able to lift 200-300 grams of bait load, at a range of 300 meters max. Could I use 2205-2206 with 2300KV or should I go bigger (2830 with 730KV)? It doesn't have to be very fast. Thx
Ionut Vlase 2205 is ok if you dont wand big cameras
surcinko Thx
is 1000kv is enough?
And is it possible to get at least 15-20 of flight time with the set up?
+Alex Chambers im not sure about your set up and not too familiar with filming rigs but I get between 2 and 6 minutes flight time on most of my quads
hello sir, we r making agricultural drone in college which should be capable of lifting 3ltrs of pesticides,which motor will be good for hexacopter?
Vijay Kumar
hey bro..which motor did u opt for ua project
in ur wining drone build vid could I use a emax red bottom moters

Sometimes it's a hassle to find characteristics about motors, even with intensive google research. Can those be interpreted as a "bad" -or at least "to avoid"- motors, then?
+Axel Thieffry Yeah, the reddit /r/multicopter has a great community and rc groups as well. They can usually put you on the right path
Can someone recommend a good quad frame and escs to go with the cobra 2204 2300kv with 5 inch bull nose props
there a few reviews of 5" frames on my channels that might peak your interest.
smaller prop on a large motor? does it give more speed ?
+themittymak not really. You want to match the right motor to the right prop. so the motor can swing a prop that is not too small because that is a waste of energy and not too big becasue it wont be able to swing it at a fast enough speed
if you want a 6"prop do 3000KV . What would be the motor. Not that i want it, but to understand it.
you would not do a 6" prop at 3000kv
What if Im not looking for a racing motor. More like a sport motor, im not really concern about speed and acceleration. Im new to the hobby and I want build a quad that i could learn. So far im planning out my build. The frame is going to be a Q210W and i want to be really agile. Ideas???
Silver ADFX-01 agility depends on your tuning like your PIDs and rates
Just buy cheap racing motors like these ones: www.banggood.com/KINGKONG-2205-2300KV-2-4s-CWCCW-Brushless-Motor-For-RC-Multirotor-p-1056209.html?p=9M251430988682015113
But use only a 3s battery. In this way the quad won't be too fast and is ideal for learning but it is also 4s ready for the moment you have some experience and want to start flying fast.
Have you tried the the T-Motor F60 2207 2450kv? It boasts +1745g thrust 😳
With what props tho?
I have some 2208 2450k and some 2207 2650kv end I'm whunt to put some raceing props on I'm thinking 5050 bi or tri
Or 5.1x4.66x3
Or 5.1x4.77x3
@@TECHnoman753 bi blades are more efficient and often used for longer flight times (other than the latest DJI, all of them before have bi blade., but for racing tri blade is better thrust.. also high amp draw. Too aggressive and you will get battery sag (lower voltage) worst case you blow and esc and kill a battery. 4.77 is more aggressive than 4.66. I would say try both.. and see what feels better. Sounds like a cop out, but remember the entire build works together.. so the props will be only one part. Battery and build quality will also play a part. Ultimately how you feel it flies will make you a better pilot as it’s easier to fly with.
I am building a 250 quad but I am also a beginner so I don't want that fast the total weight is 2300. What motor is best for this(5 inch prop)
2300kv 2205
UAVfutures thanks you so much
What do you think about the Sunnysky X2204S 2300KV for a ZMR250? With 5030-5045 props
should be totally fine
did you tested that motors?
Bello3 no but I have seen people use them
oh ok
I'm afraid the size explanations were wrong. The number of motor does not indicate the exact size as you said.
here is a question for you, I'm sure you wind up with quite a lot of over stock due to product testing, do you ever sell any? I am looking for a few low priced quads to get more into the hobby.
+Carrboro_Chapelhill Fpv I have only ever received 8 motors. so 2 sets for free. All the rest I have purchased myself. Much to my wife distaste haha
2 sets, we'll at least they sent a set and not just one.
Carrboro_Chapelhill Fpv lol true
