    Put two Motors on one side and the other two on the other side of a quad and use Black Box to compare there punch out and top-end thrust and torque differences.

      This is an obvious test that I've wondered why no one has ever done. It's not an exact measurement, but at least it's objective. Same goes for prop reviews. Almost all reviews are subjective, they're based on the reviewers feel for them. Two props/motors on one side would allow for direct, and real, comparisons in performance.

    Joshua, I was having yaw-twitch problems on two quads with new motors, EMax and Brother Hobby, and found the solution in one of your own 2hr videos from a few months ago. I increased the PWM frequency in BLHeli to 48 and that did the trick. Also, before I increased the PWM freq, the motors were noisy in the Motors tab at certain speeds, but once I increased the PWM the noise cleared up.

    Hey Joshua ...I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have done for us in this amazing hobby, and congratulations on becoming a new member of Rotor Riot......I think your exactly the pilot they need for future growth and continuing the drone camp function. I always have been a fan of your channel as it has been my trouble shooting guide when I couldn't get my Drone working or if it was working and had a problem..... I could always figure it out because you had a video about my problem .....every time!!!!!! ....without your channel I would have bin totally lost and most certainly would have given up, But because I could always fix my problems by listening to your videos it made it easy to find a solution......thank you again man and you never know maybe we will fly together one day!!!! cheers.

    Since their inception, wider than 22XX on 5" or 6" has always felt lacking in the top end power and control to me. Even testing the Hyperlite 2307 vs 2207, I hugely preferred the 2207. This was most confusing finding to me since they're the same motor other than the width. I've discussed this dilemma extensively with Ryan Harrell of MQTB and there isn't really a clear explanation we could come up with. Comparing a 2306 vs 2207 in terms of power curve, the 2207 definitely has its power band pushed up higher in the RPM range and from Ryan's tests, they do manage higher RPM transitions better as well. With respect to acro, lower pitch props are usually prefered and it makes sense to pair them with a motor that's better in the higher RPM range. I believe the lower pitch props are preferred because they generally 'should' have better overall control and handling since they don't stall as easily. Especially in the lower RPMs. However many steep pitch props these days like the HQ5.1x5.1x3 and original Avan triblade, have design features that are very good at managing this low RPM stall issue and just feel extra awesome on a 2207. But you give up a whole lotta amps for that kinda performance. Emax is testing their 2009 prototypes and finding some interesting results... It would seem that the power band position on the throttle curve is very closely correlated with the motor width and the motor height can expand that band while the kv will attempt to draw it out or pull it in. The part I'm hung up on is that wide motors and high kv don't seem to perform as I would expect by extrapolating from other motors. We've come so far that we're now splitting hairs to fine tune the performance out of these machines. It's awesome

      @chrispychickin 6 лет назад +1

      Pretty sure zoefpv/rctimer was selling a 2010 size motor at one point. Apparently it was quite an amp hog, which makes sense I guess, that's a huge jump in stator volume. She liked the added stator height for quicker transition between up and down thrust in 3d flying.

  • @coleisman
    @coleisman 6 лет назад +7

    I really like the "idea" of the wider stators over the taller stators because it gets torque from the mechanical advantage which to me seems more efficient. Sciencey! You got me hooked on RCX motors btw.

    • @jakegarrett8109
      @jakegarrett8109 6 лет назад +5

      The fat motors now have more inertia in the bell housing. But wait, taller motors mean more bending on the shaft and impact damage could be worse on the bearings. Then the cooling should be better on the short wider ones since less air restriction and more surface area. But then the tall motor might be better since.... Such is the life of an engineer trying to make a decision that usually doesn't matter that much... I do that all the time deciding lunch, then after an hour everything sounds delicious.
      Torque does not = efficiency though. My cousin's 7.5 liter pickup has a lot of torque, and its certainly not efficient. Much like combustion engines, electric motors can vary wildly based on timing and load (and the speed of the ESC). At the end of the day, you always need to size things for what you want. The 1104 motors on my micro are great, but they wouldn't be good on a phantom, and the 2212 motors wouldn't be good on the micro, both being very inefficient. Hence their will never be a "best" motor.

    • @coleisman
      @coleisman 6 лет назад +2

      You don't ever get something for free, physics just won't allow it. So yes every upside has a downside for sure. That being said, I would think generally a wider motor will give you greater mechanical advantage that outweighs the additional force required to spin the wider motor since the props are still a far greater load source than the motor itself, giving a significant boost to efficiency since a large fraction of the extra power gained is from the mechanical advantage and not just from increased power utilization from the battery as would be more true for a taller stator vs a wider stator. A taller stator will have a taller bell housing as well, increasing the mass and requiring more force to spin, so width vs height I would imagine width would at least have more potential for efficiency gains. At some point there is a crossover where the motor is too wide for its own good of course, I just don't know if we've hit that mark yet with 23mm wide stators turning 5" triblade props. But maybe there's something I'm not considering here, and as with many things the devil is in the details so numbers matter, 1mm change in width probably does not equate to 1mm change in height etc. There will never be a best motor, I agree, just a better motor for a specific application. Novel complete.

    RCX motors have always been good for me. They also have replacement bells, bearings, clips and shafts etc so well worth getting the spares when you order. Bearings have also been easy to replace on the one's i have which is handy too.

  • @MCsCreations
    @MCsCreations 6 лет назад +6

    My first impression (and I could be wrong) is that you need less throttle with the 2207 to do the same. I mean, to get to some high.

  • @paulhope3401
    @paulhope3401 6 лет назад +7

    Coming from a motorsport background your findings make perfect sense to me and are what I would expect to see too.
    In combustion engine terms. Wide stator vs narrow stator of the same displacement could be thought of as a 'long stroke' (narrow cylinder) engine vs a 'short stroke' (wide cylinder) engine.
    Short stroke will be less torquey but typically rev higher (lower mechanical stresses) and have greater potential power higher up in the rpm range.
    With a wider stator you have more mechanical leverage which suits it well to low down torque and efficiency if you operate in this area of rpm... but if you want top end power you are better off with a wider magnetic flux ring.... akin to the wider flame front in a short stroke racing combustion engine.
    Although they show similar bench test static thrust figures... the 2207 will typically unload more and therefore rev higher in free flight and this is why it feels better in real life.

    i tried 2306 meny models, emax, rcx, dys... And all have one thing in common, if you want to push it it sucks the battery down when over 2400kv. 2207 2300kvish is a softspot for me, plenty of power, plenty of prop choice and flight times are incredible. Keep an eye on 2305 size, seems to be the new sweet spot with 2350kv and 2500kv.

    14:42 that would make sense since they have a smaller moment, or rotating inertia since the weight of the bell is brought in closer. You could try adding a bit of weight with copper tape to the motor and see if that takes the advantage away maybe?

They are perfect for the way I fly. They have amazing torque so they are great for quick movements. But I did notice that I dont get as much flight time with the 2207s. Great video!

    Engineer's answer-
    ANGULAR MOMENT- basically you have more "stuff" further from the center. AND the SAME tangential force is at a larger OD. The difference goes back to PI, or ~ +3 times on RADIAL difference. So just a little bit of diameter goes A LOT further than a linear iterpolation.

But I have to say that they have always had more KV than now with the 2306th I am the opinion that 2306 with 2500kv better and more precise fly as 2207 with 2700 kv. I fly now only Emax and T-Motor engines and have only had good experiences. I think your test is great, but also on your flight videos, I think that the 2306 engines run better.

    100% my exact findings between 2306 and 2207 on other brands as well Josh. Literally. I get longer flights with 2207 even though the amp draw is slightly higher as well and I think it’s due to the higher torque and faster speed of the quad that I don’t need to be on the throttle nearly as hard. I find on 2306 I need to be on the throttle a LOT more and my flights get very short. I love 2207 and will never buy more 2306. You literally mirrored my exact findings between the two motor sizes, even your descriptions of the two. Thanks again and great thorough testing!!

    samguk wei's are also great. just not as immediate on the stick. using higher kv 2600 or 2700 you notice the difference in torque.
    2306's are also great but I havent spent the money on top end motors in this size. my preference has been the 2207's, even over 2307's. the difference in performance wasnt much but the battery usage was radical.

      ashmawikali143 sorry man, I have either of the motors. It is not an easily question to answer, both of the motors will give you the performance you need but if you are looking for more efficient motors i would recommend 2205 motors with hyper light build for not so serious racing. For freestyle I definitely go for bigger motors like yours. Between BBB and BH, BH is a bigger brand imo. However I have heard a lot of good things about BBB 2207. With BBB 2207 I think there is only one kV, which is really high for racing but great for freestyle. BH 2306 has two kV
      I believe. If I would choose I will go for BH 2450kv which is the right kV for racing. For freestyle higher kV. BH 2306 uses 7075 , BBB 2207 no idea and not mentioned in spec,which I suspect it could be 6061.

    agreed i just went from johhny motors (2207 2700kv) to le drib motors (2206 2650) i can really feel the power difference, 2650 was the highest i could get locally as getfpv was out of stock... still like the drib motors but miss johhny's motors. i even went back to 2450kv motors that i still had and nearly cried

    I thought I had a really clever idea, but I was backwards!
    I did the same math as you, but I also subtracted out the volume of the bearing to get closer to the volume of the actual windings. Surely the volume gap between the 2306 and 2207 would appear even bigger then, right?!
    Nope. This is where I was backwards. Instead of your 7% difference, I came up with a 5% difference.

    Totally agree with you.
    I had the F60 Pro II 2700kv on my quad and switched to the F40 Pro II 2400kv. With the F40s I always have the problem that I hit the ground when diving because they miss the pop I have with the F60s. On the F60s when I think I'll hit the ground and raise the throttle I'm just skyrocketing into the sky.

    • @JoshuaBardwell

      I think the 2700 vs 2400 kv is a much bigger factor.

      Of course. What I found interesting is that the higher kv didn't affect the flight time by much. This probably would be different if I was racing, but for my style it's perfectly fine.

    hmm, weird. from the two videos I would have placed my bets on the 2306s. it looked a tad smoother and the motor sounded less chirpy.
    I thought I heard a slight chirp from the 2207s and saw slightly more vibrations coming through, figured it would be slightly off I gain maybe?
    Maybe I am imaginng things...
    Love my Emax LS 2207s though.

    @Joshua Bardwell
    I would describe your quads as "stiff but dampened". This is just my best guess from watching your videos for a couple years. In other words, your tuning seems to be very active to hold attitude, but then dampened to eliminate all P oscillation. Most other quads seem to have a tiny bit more oscillation and prop wash. You hate prop wash with a passion, but you deal with it when there is just no way to get rid of it.

  • @novafpv5220
    @novafpv5220 6 лет назад

    I recently purchased the f-40 pros and the f-60 pros which is a 2306 and a 2207.. I never felt the low end torque on the 2306 like you would think. The 2207 always felt more responsive and torquey but didn't have the top end speed the 2306 provided. And when flying with a go-pro I always go with a 2207-2407 so that I can't tell the go pro is on the quad. So.. top speed=2306... 2207=immediate response, torque and speed with out the top end of the 06'.

    I could hear from the noise You were riding your throttle more on the 2206. A little rev up on the 2207 threw you over the trees while it was a climb on the 2206. I agree with your assessment. Love the 2207s. I also love the low throttle power of the 2207. So question. Is this equation correct . “ if JB likes = I likes then I am #NerdLikeJB”

  • @HelioRC
    @HelioRC 6 лет назад +21

    2207 has a faster response to throttle input due to the stator width. The height of the magnets allows you to run more aggressive props without “over-propping” your motor. 2306 is going to have an easier time spinning 6” tri-blades than a 2207 or 2208 motor. It’s like a gear in a transmission. The smaller the gear, the less torque can be applied to the driveshaft. The wider the gear, the more torque can be applied. Torque is required to spin larger/more aggressive props.

    • @HelioRC
      @HelioRC 6 лет назад +6

      Propeller and motor pairing has a drastic effect on the performance of a quad. A high KV motor with a high pitch prop is going to be extremely fast but will crush most batteries. If the KV is too high and the pitch too low, your props will flatten out under fast throttle changes (just like tires breaking loose on a car under hard acceleration). If your KV is lower and you run a more aggressive prop, you might have thrust issues in the low end of your throttle range.

    • @tehllama42
      @tehllama42 6 лет назад +2

      Concur on everything - although going to biblade and lower advance ratio in 6" actually feels great on 2207 and 2208 motors. Way better than I expected, especially on hilariously cheap 2208 motors. I've had to toss on some seriously ludicrous 6x5.5x3 props (!) in order to feel like the motor isn't spinning them up super fast, but I still have to violently back that thing into hairpins to mind... but it's an absolute missile, especially on $7 motors.

    • @mistercohaagen
      @mistercohaagen 6 лет назад

      tehllama42, Which $7 motors? Also, can you explain "advance ratio" in greater detail here? I read this; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio but I'm still unable to visualize how this works on different quad props. TIA

    • @tehllama42
      @tehllama42 6 лет назад +3

      Advance ratio is actually what people should be measuring instead of prop pitch (many do) - essentially how many inches of fluid the propeller should push you through per rotation - think of it as a final gear ratio in a car. 5x5.5x3 Hulkie props have a lot more advance ratio than 5x4x3 V1s, for example.
      The $7 motors are the RCX H2208 (4mm shaft) motors, sans warranty. they're only in 2000KV, but for experimenting on 5S or jumping to 6", they're great - I'm also giving them a try on 7042 Gemfan Flash props to see how they're like.

    • @mistercohaagen
      @mistercohaagen 6 лет назад

      tehllama42, I got a set of those and the cobra 2208 2kkv's still haven't flown yet; 7" props sound about right for them. So, I get what advance ratio is (I think anyway), but how does it change between bi and tri-bladed props?

    • @wyvern4588
      @wyvern4588 6 лет назад

      I had the 2306 2750Kv, they were fun, but they sagged a 80C graphene like it was a AA, thus, ended up being pretty poor performing motors past 30 seconds.

    • @gerrie5014787
      @gerrie5014787 6 лет назад

      The 2400 are much softer on your batteries but still have that demonic transition time. There is something about those motors. They literally have power everywhere. I fondly remember when I first put cyclone 5050 props on them and the motors still spun them up like they were nothing. I have since moved on but every now and then I break out my Bush Kwad and rip around on those Emax 2306 2400s

  • @tehllama42
    @tehllama42 6 лет назад

    I definitely feel like the RPM range (an related weight/loading/advance ratio of the props) end up dictating that quite a bit. I can absolutely see why freestyle at lower speed the control of the wider stator is impressive and feels great with the right tune, while 2207 keeps the torque all the way up to the top, which is why many racers and even freestyle pilots who prefer lower pitch props will favor those.
    Efficiency is the other bigger question - I think it'll match the above that taller stators are more efficient at higher RPM, while wider stators are efficient down low and don't have to work as hard when changing RPM larger amounts.
    On thrust stand, that shows higher RPM torque delivery of taller stators - I think a more comprehensive motor dyno would show that the wider stator is going to be more responsive at a minimum - looking at Ryan Harrell's 0-100 ramp in RPM and Thrust definitely seems to show that behavior. I think running lighter prop pitch in 5" weights (~4g) negates most of that difference, and then the 2207's torque delivery being more linear higher up the RPM range (flatter torque curve) is going to feel a lot better all around.

  • @plainuser48596
    @plainuser48596 6 лет назад

    Oh yeah, I was wondering what happened to this video! Interesting that 2207 feel better, I always imagined they would need higher kv and as such higher amps to do the same as 2306

  • @AmtrakBoy42

    When you calculated the area of the motor you did Pi*d^2 instead of Pi*r^2. You squared the diameter instead of the radius.

  • @muihbuih
    @muihbuih 5 лет назад

    inertia goes by the square. so a more narrow motor tends to have less inertia. so maybe thats what makes it feel more juicy.
    solid cylinder has I=1/2*(mr²)

    @gerbenwijnant8682 6 лет назад

    Hi Joshua, I hope now you gonna learn something ;)
    As a mechanical engineering student, I have to say, everybody should benefit from using a 2207, no matter what's your flight style. A motor with a smaller diameter has a lower inertia. This makes it easyer for the motor to spin up and down. Because of our superfast PID-loop the motors need to spin up and down a lot, no matter what's your style of flying. So a smaller diameter should be more efficient.
    A smaller rotor comes with lower torque, so they extend the rotor to create more torque. In theory, the curve is linear between the length of the rotor and the ammount of torque produced. Extending the rotor does lead to a rise of weight but doesn't lead to a huge rise in inertia because the weight is closer to the center of rotation.
    To prove this, look at what motors the industry is using for an application where they need to spin up and down realy fast: all these motors are just like ours BLDC-motors but with a small diameter and a long rotor.
    Thanks for the great videos !

      Lever arm for the magnet-stator interaction is also coming in from a point with better leverage - there's a reason we're not flying 1812 motors.
