FPVCycle 16mm Motor - 4100Kv
Choose options
This motor is unique in a few ways. First off, it’s sporting our new lighter prop shaft design, it’s got a 9x9 M2 mount so it will fit lighter style frames and the overall stator volume is higher than 1605 while weighing much less than it should. This motor is ideal for high powered 3” operation and low weight 4” crafts.
The goal of this motor is maximum power and control for a medium weight 3" quad. A taller stator with taller magnets are used for the high RPM control needed for small 3" props but a wide 16mm diameter with middling 4100kv is used to manage the heat dissipation of the motor in use. This is one of the most genuinely unique and interesting motors we've got in our lineup.
This motor is very powerful and 'notchy'. Please be sure to use a properly applied and appropriately sized capacitor.

Love the motors on my 3.5" build, a huge step up in performance and only add 8g over the brotherhobby 1404's I had been using. I've been drilling props out to 3mm to make for more choices in the 3.5" range. The Gemfan's that fit by default are loud and inefficient compared to the Emax 3.5". Luckily drilling them out isn't a big deal and what a great match!
Used these on an AOS3.5 on 4s, and it has become the best flying quad I own. Loads of power, very very light weight (225g with a 500mah 4s, 5min flight time) and the same spectacular low throttle control FPVCycle motors are known for.
Also, they sound VERY different to other motors. They have much more of a high-pitched whine/ whoosh sound and are very very quiet.
I have these on an AOS 3.5 and a 3” Apex. Both fly incredibly well and these are by far my favorite motors for a smaller build.
Perfect Motor For My Soon To Be Release Prototype 3.5" 5mm Arms Frame. These motors tune quite nicely and with my current setup, I surprisingly can run this quad with nearly every battery possible from 3000mah 3s Lipo for 16minutes of cursing, to even 1100mah 4s lips for freestyle. My favorite is the Pyrodrone 700mah 5s Lipo with motor output set to 82% percent. I run these motors on a 3.5" prop with 4s and 5s. These motors have taken a beating along with the New Prototype 3.5" Frame. Thank you Bob...It's performing excellent!
I wish these motors would go on sale
Super happy with the performance economy and flight characteristics of this 16mm fpv cycle micro motor.
Paired with a 3.5” prop the flight feel is nothing short of amazing! Very happy with the improved low end feel and added altitude management characteristics.
Will be using again on other builds of this category.
Thank you for the development and research done on this 16mm platform!
I got a set of these to put on a Botgrinder/Ummagawd Grinderino when they updated the arms to accept the 9mm mount. I think this is the right amount of motor for a slightly "heavy" 3.5" build - a lighter (sub-250g) build can get by with less, but the Grinderino is a chonkier frame and benefits from a little more power. The blurb says these are notchy motors, and they are if you just spin them by hand but I haven't noticed any detrimental effects on the tune. Here again, a stiffer/heavier frame helps. Anyway, these are good for a build about that size.
They have amazing power for their weight. IMO they work very well on 3.5inch with 5s lipo, or 4s lipo on 4inch prop, both work amazing
I put these on the AOS 3.5 frame and it's got POWAAAAAHHHH! I Lov'em!
I put these on a 3" Tooth Fairy and it instantly became one of my favorite thing to fly. They sound incredible and perform amazingly well. I can't wait to try a set of their larger motors on my next build.
I've got the non-unibell version of these motors, got them for free hehehe
Works great on my 3.5 inch quad, high quality motors Very happy with them!
Let customers speak for us
I had the older 2 generations of these motors and they keep getting better. Thicker stator, thicker stator base and they look amazing!
Pared this frame with a o4 lite and a Matrix 1s fc. I will always have a Babytooth in the fleet. Pic is weight with o4 lite.
these motors are nice and smooth on a 1s build!
Now even better with o4 lite!
Truly a fantastic frame!!! The only shame is that I have to pay duty to get your wonderful frames. A sacrifice I'm happy to make!!!

Great frame, durable and cheap
Gemfan Hurricane Durable Tri Blade SL 5125 Propellers (2CW + 2CCW)
Great frame. Great flyer.
Worked very well easy to solder flies great very fast and responsive
The best motor I’ve ever tested
This is the best motor I’ve ever tested
These motors are so smooth and have so much power. I have them on a light weight 5” and it has to much power I had to limit the power on them. Great durability as well. Taken some hits and still running smooth.
👍
Well packaged and a nice varity of mounting bolts
