How to choose the right motor for your MINIQUAD or RACING DRONE

[@MichaelRogersJesusrules]

Thankx as always, nothing much changes ,maybe magnets.have a good week!

[@allaboutdrones7931]

Your channel has great promise. I also am looking forward to racing but have not yet decided on which drone.

[@montemahler6766]

All About Drones make one. it's not as hard as you think.

[@yuzhang27]

are you interested in our drone motor? www.crazy-motor.com

[@dankmonster2965]

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

[@richlees6503]

Very use full video Stu. Keep up the good work.

[@UAVfutures]

+Rich Lees (TubeRider) :)

[@yuzhang27]

we are professional drone motor manufacturers with brand crazy-motor. more info. about our brushless dc motor www.crazy-motor.com

[@oscarpelaez7855]

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!

[@jackadactyl5590]

Thanks I'm new to this and I am thinking of upgrading the wizard x220 with emax motors when I get more advanced

[@UAVfutures]

good idea

[@TwitchyFPV]

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

[@UAVfutures]

+Jonathan Kelting thanks mate. Really glad you are enjoying them. I love making them

[@ricardomaggiore5518]

I just enter into this hobby because your amazing videos... cheers!

[@darrenkall7578]

Cheap and Available are good motors run also. Great vid, thanks

[@ModelCarHobbyist]

Stu can you do a budget build on a hexadrone and on how to get the most flight time out of your drone?

[@karl11154]

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??

[@junito1957]

watching the video sure taught me alot thanks for posting!!

[@antoniosanches]

If you use motors that are the exact same spec, but different brand, would it work? how bad is to do it?

[@jonawoln5095]

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

[@michaellee5084]

love the educational vids, nice job.

[@spragathor]

Great video helped a lot.

[@nasarami]

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

[@bru77o]

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

[@jparun36]

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.

[@tiger8157]

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 ?

[@robertquantrill]

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?

[@danielbernhard1250]

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.

[@juanjacobo36]

Which 2300KV motor is most efficient? How can you tell from those charts you mentioned?

[@andrecardona230]

Perfect! Just what I needed, Thank You.

[@UAVfutures]

+Andre Cardona : )

[@lewiskenny5572]

Hey stu what propeller do you recommend for the 2204 motor ?

[@trump3075]

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?

[@livewire1414]

Well done Stu, if I had found this video six months ago I would have been very happy. :)

[@UAVfutures]

+AeroScrew well I hope it still made you happy even though its 6 months late : )

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

I second that but, last year.

[@UAVfutures]

Carrboro_Chapelhill Fpv haha sorry...

[@livewire1414]

UAVfutures Sure did!

[@benjien2007]

what size screws does the 1306 motor use to fasten it to the mount?

[@Durbrukh]

Best affordable motor off banggood for a total beginner? Im planning on using 4s battery and a Realacc X210 Pro 214mm 3K frame.

[@jeffbrewster4024]

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!

[@UAVfutures]

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.

[@rajitkondal131]

Which motors and propellers can i use for a hexacopter

[@damonbfpv]

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

[@UAVfutures]

20a will be fine on 3s

[@damonbfpv]

thanks for replying

[@davidbland5885]

your videos help a lot thanks heaps

[@alexchambers5273]

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.

[@woodyfpv5331]

you can buy a carbon fiber frame that will perform better and be easier to build for pretty cheap...

[@LoCdogAK47]

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?

[@StantonLuke]

Have you tried the the T-Motor F60 2207 2450kv? It boasts +1745g thrust 😳

[@TECHnoman753]

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

[@StantonLuke]

@@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.

[@buder5116]

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 ! >_>

[@melloshreader]

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👍

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?

[@davidno1reallykinnett440]

Helpful stuff! Thanks for that!!!

[@thekaratekid02]

What frame is that to your left? I'd love to source a quality frame that size. Great video, very helpful!

[@johnniehouston1816]

How would you know what prop size goes with motor?

[@jackadactyl5590]

Would it be good if I ran emax 2205 red bottom motors with tri blade props using a 3s battery and 20a blhelis esc?

[@UAVfutures]

yes

[@yuzhang27]

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.

[@editaatidee2868]

if ve take 4s battery. can ve use same 20 esc?

[@WhatsOnTodayDad]

You won't burn the motors by to big props, however you will burn the ESC as Amps will exceed nominal value

[@michealwithington]

Can you help us understand what to look for when choosing an esc to get the best performance from your quad, I have been having trouble getting good throttle from my builds and I am using good motors. I havr a kiss quad with awesome performance yet my other builds are very slow regardless of the PID setting.

[@UAVfutures]

pids dont change speed

[@Thinkdifferentsagnic]

what is the recommended size of the propellors for a 920 kv motar???Please tell how much thrust will the motar provide?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@katrinagarcia8645]

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!

[@Soldier1287]

what is the smallest that can lift goprostyle cameras

[@E-LUV]

how do you know if it will mount to the frame of quad? are they universal?

[@reececline5811]

MrFantasticJackson yes

[@GenesisRC]

When buying your frame and motors find the bolt hole spacing

[@moshumusable]

No cause I had to slit my holes with a Dremel tool to get bigger motors in my runner 250r

[@psycoxxmmgxx2485]

What size prop should I put on a 2700kv

[@luisc5500]

how can i get my hands on a controll bord that is capable of moveing a 12 volt motor and controlling it ?

[@saddlepiggy]

so a 2403/2300kv would be underproped with a 5 inch propeller?

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?

[@UAVfutures]

hi, i have a question, im going to buy a walkera runner 250 drone with a 40 Km/H top speed and i want to make it an upgrade because i want a more bigger top speed like the walkera furious 320 (120 Km/H top speed) and my question is, its that posible? and if it would be posibble, what kind of brushless motor do you recomend me to buy ?

[@UAVfutures]

2205 2300kv remax red bottom motors, some 30 escs and some Bn 5040 props should get you a lot faster

[@bello3175]

What do you think about the Sunnysky X2204S 2300KV for a ZMR250? With 5030-5045 props

[@UAVfutures]

should be totally fine

[@bello3175]

did you tested that motors?

[@UAVfutures]

Bello3 no but I have seen people use them

[@bello3175]

oh ok

[@alexchambers5273]

And is it possible to get at least 15-20 of flight time with the set up?

[@UAVfutures]

+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

[@getsturdy]

so the lower the ohms, the more efficient the motor??

[@YashRug]

is a 20A esc good for a 1407 motor (brotherhobby t1 1407 3600kv motor)

[@angel__randomizer2697]

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???

[@reececline5811]

Silver ADFX-01 agility depends on your tuning like your PIDs and rates

[@droneracing8532]

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.

[@fbiagent3399]

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 (::

[@isbsd4me]

insta flip means you have one motor is rev rotation check that

[@wcwickedclown]

can you recommend me a good 6s motor for a 250

[@slagsleutel]

if you want a 6"prop do 3000KV . What would be the motor. Not that i want it, but to understand it.

[@UAVfutures]

you would not do a 6" prop at 3000kv

[@RCTeamAustria]

great video! thanks for sharing!

[@UAVfutures]

+RC Team Austria Thanks for watching : )

[@Drunken_Hamster]

I think the best motors for our hobby with have a 3:1 down to a 2:1 diameter to height ratio. MAYBE an extension to a 4:1 ratio, but, after that, absolutely nothing less or more. Examples of a 2:1 are the infamous 1407's that can run with a 5" racecraft 5038 twin blade at insane kv and power a 300 gram AUW 5" quad at a 12:1 thrust to weight ratio. A 3:1 would be your standard 1806's. And a 4:1 exactly would be like a 2005 or a 2406. I don't really think either exists. My fav would likely be a light weight, high power 4.5" quad {I've made another post about changing the quad sizes to be 0.5" less than the current ones, replacing most classes with better middle grounds and causing people to be more diverse} with a 1608 or an 1806. **click** noice.

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

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.

[@mr.jbi2277]

thanks man

[@kracken7192]

Mr.JBI22 just remeber, those will only be effecient if you run 6s.

[@mr.jbi2277]

alright so buy 6 motor and a frame that holds 6? I was thinking of using 8 inch rotors for the motors is that a good idea or not really?

[@kracken7192]

Mr.JBI22 You will get the best results with 16x5.4 props. with 6 motors you should be able to carry a 15 pound quad and a 5 pound gimbal, and hover at half throttle. That setup seems good. is this your first build?

[@roshanikambenagpur7532]

What is the voltage of the battery
