This is a chart of stator volume vs surface area. The stator volume calculation does not take the bearing space into account. Some motors of the same size have larger bearings than others and this could lead to reduced thermal dissipation or otherwise varied performance. Usually larger bearings are preferred but often make no difference (specifically in the case of 5" prop motors and 9 vs 10mm bearings, even durability)This chart is best used to compare motor sizes to one another and does not represent any information about any specific motor(s). Generally motors with a greater surface area to volume...

The following is here to help understand the design goals and intentions for our motor lineup.  All descriptions on this page are merely suggestions.  We encourage unique and original ways to use everything we offer.  For example, if someone can pull off a 1S FPV plane with the 13mm 1S motor it would be incredible to see! 13mm 11400kv9x9 M2 mount2mm press fit or 2mm shaft T mount Recommended use:1S 2.5” or 3” with AUW 75-90g or less This motor is designed specifically for 1S operation on 3” and 2.5” props with the 2mm press fit mounting hole.  It’s optimized...

    The popularity of the TP3 and entire Toothpick-style class is truly gratifying to see.  The following is the genuine TP3 formula but of course this is only a recommendation.  You can build however you like as there are many options in this area today.TP3 frame or Babytooth frame in 3mm thickness1303 5000kvGemfan 3018 or Gemfan 3016450mah 3S4S 30A AIO boardBee Brain V2 canopyCaddx Ant Lite 4:3Nano VtxCrossfire RxMiniMortal T V2 Should come out to about ~103g AUW.  The option between TP3 or Babytooth is moreso a personal preference between unibody or multi-part frame designs.  The multi-part design tends...

The Baby Tooth setups delivers a jaw dropping ‘big quad’ experience in a small, nearly silent package.  The goal of this quad is maximum performance in a small, safe, simple and hassle free package.We’ve been absolutely fascinated with the 1S high performance setups for quite some time now.  The following may seem simple and obvious but it reflects years of research, testing, refinement and custom designed components for the task.  Unfortunately this is also a cookbook for other brands to rip off our work but we’re more concerned about sharing the joy of all this.  The only way we exist...
