Drone and RC airplane motors – everything you wanted to know but you were afraid to ask!
Today, let's have a nice talk about brushless electic motors we use in the RC hobby. Both on airplanes, as well as on drones. In this video we will discuss: motor size motor KV and rotation speed KV versus KT as motor constants stator and rotor number of coils and poles winding phases airflow and…

How to choose motors for drones – especially 7-inch FPV quadcopters
One of the mistakes pilots makes when they build their first drone is they use too small motors. People think that if a motor works fine with 5-inch props, it will work with 7-inch props as well. After all, both have plenty of power and power is the key to everything. It’s not true. Power…

iFlight ION Raaange/ION Drive 2506 1250KV Motors
220x motors are the workhorse on the RC hobby right now when it comes down to mini quads. Sometimes they are joined by 230x too. But 2205 and 2206 brushless outrunners have a serious problem that limits their use with propellers bigger than 5 inches. They might still be fine with 6-inch props, but on…

EMAX RS2 2206 1600KV motors hands on
Think about an electric motor for your 5 (or maybe even 6) inch acro or FPV racing quadcopter. What do you see? Something in a 2205-2306 size range with a KV rating somewhere 2300KV and 2600KV. Sometimes even more. And it works great, as long as you wat 5-inch props and 4S batteries. You can…

How to wind an electric brushless outrunner motor with dLRK winding schema, part 2
My memory is not as good as it used to be. I just realized, that third part of my motor winding series was not yet announced over here. So here we go… In this video I terminate motor into Delta pattern and do first test of freshly winded motor.

How to wind an electric brushless outrunner motor with dLRK winding schema
This time, another “motor winding” video. In 13 minutes and something seconds I: show some tool that I find useful for motor winding wind a 12N14P brushless outrunner electric motor with dLRK winding schema terminate this motor into Delta configuration BTW, in next video I will show you if it worked or not 🙂

How brushless outrunner electric motors are winded
Motor winding adventure continues. In this video I show and tell about: 12 coils (12N) 14 magnets (14P) dLRK winding schema WYE and Delta termination schemas

Motor winding, first success!
I finally did it. It took me half a year and at least 10 tries, but I finally winded a motor and it did not burned. More than that, looks like it works pretty, pretty, nice. Next step: measure KV of my creation!

Wind your own motors? Will they burn or work?
Half a year after first tries (failed) to wind a DIY motor from Banggood (it’s not in offer any more BTW) I gave it another try. This time, with new tricks in my sleeve and new ESC. It ended up, well, watch the video…
