Product Description (Detailed):
Elevate your drone's performance with the versatile A2212 1000KV Brushless DC Motor (BLDC Motor), a widely popular choice for both hobbyist and professional drone builds. This outrunner brushless motor is engineered for optimal balance between speed and torque, making it ideal for a variety of multi-rotor platforms like quadcopters. The 1000KV rating signifies that the motor will spin approximately 1000 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) for every volt applied (under no load), offering efficient propulsion when paired with suitable propellers, typically 8 to 10-inch propellers. Designed to operate efficiently with 2S or 3S LiPo batteries, the A2212 motor requires a compatible Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), generally a 20A to 30A ESC, to handle its current capacity and ensure smooth, reliable operation. Its lightweight yet durable construction, often featuring a 3.17mm shaft diameter, allows for robust performance and easy integration into various drone frame designs. Whether you're building a new quadcopter propulsion system or upgrading an existing one, the A2212 1000KV motor provides excellent thrust-to-weight ratio and efficiency, contributing to extended flight times and stable aerial maneuvers. Its widespread use and extensive community support make it a go-to drone motor for reliability and proven performance.
The A2212 1000KV BLDC motor is a popular brushless outrunner motor designed for multirotor drones and RC hobby aircraft. With a KV rating of 1000, it provides a good balance between thrust and power efficiency, making it perfect for beginner and intermediate drone builders.
Built with high-quality windings and precision-balanced rotors, the motor ensures smooth rotation, stable RPM, and minimal vibration. It pairs well with 30A ESCs, 3S LiPo batteries, and 1045 propeller blades for optimal flight performance.
