Which motor should I choose for the flying shuttle?
Freestyle flying (FPV Drone) is an extremely popular sport in recent years, and the choice of motor directly affects the flight performance and control experience. This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the key points for selecting a flying motor for a flying shuttle, and provide structured data reference.
1. Core parameters of the flying motor of the flying machine

The motor is the core power of the traversing machine. When selecting, you need to focus on the following parameters:
| parameters | Description | Recommended range (5-inch machine) |
|---|---|---|
| KV value | Speed/voltage ratio affects dynamic response | 1700KV-2500KV |
| Stator size | Basics of motor power and torque | 2207-2507 |
| weight | Affects airframe trim and maneuverability | 30g-40g/piece |
| Maximum current | The key to matching ESC and battery | 40A-60A |
2. Recommended popular motor models in 2024
According to recent forum and e-commerce platform data, the following models are popular choices among Huafei enthusiasts:
| brand | Model | KV value | Stator size | Weight(g) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T-Motor | F60 PRO IV | 1950KV | 2207 | 34.5 | Efficient magnetic circuit design |
| iFlight | XING2 2306 | 2450KV | 2306 | 32.8 | Lightweight + explosive power |
| EMAX | ECO II 2306 | 1900KV | 2306 | 31.2 | Best value for money |
| BrotherHobby | Avenger 2523 | 1750KV | 2523 | 38.7 | High torque king |
3. Practical skills for motor selection
1.KV value matches the battery: It is recommended to choose 1700KV-1950KV for 6S battery and 2300KV-2500KV for 4S battery. The recently discussed "low KV + high voltage" combination can significantly improve battery life.
2.Stator size trends: Among the newly released motors in 2024, 2306 and 2507 account for 62% (source: latest statistics from RCGROUP), balancing torque and speed requirements.
3.weight distribution principle: Actual test data from top pilots shows that complex movements can be completed when the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine is ≥8:1, and the weight of the motor accounts for 18%-22% of the weight of the whole machine.
4. Guide to avoid pitfalls
According to recent user feedback, special attention needs to be paid to:
| Question type | Typical cases | solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bearing wear | A certain brand of motor makes abnormal noise after 50 starts. | Select ceramic bearing model |
| Demagnetization of magnetic steel | Power attenuation in high temperature environment | Confirm the grade of magnetic steel above N52H |
| Axis offset | Increased vibration after collision | Choose 3.5mm reinforced axis |
5. Forecast of future trends
1.Modular design: DJI’s latest patent shows that quickly replaceable motor modules may become the next generation product direction.
2.Intelligent temperature control: Motors with built-in temperature sensors have received a 37% increase in attention at the exhibition in the past two weeks.
3.Material innovation: The actual weight reduction of the carbon fiber shell motor is 15%, and mass production is expected in the second half of the year.
Choosing the right motor requires a combination of flying style, budget, and skill level. It is recommended that novices start with mainstream models (such as iFlight XING2 series), and advanced players can try performance models such as BrotherHobby. Remember, the best motor is the one that allows you to focus on the joy of flying!
