FPV Motors
Compare FPV drone motors from Chinese manufacturers by stator size, KV, battery cell count, weight and thrust, from whoop motors to long-range builds.
FPV motors are small brushless motors for racing, freestyle, cinematic and long-range FPV drones. Listings run from whoop motors to 5-inch and X-class motors and are grouped below by stator size.
Quick selection guide
Tiny whoops and micro builds
08xx to 15xx stators, such as 1103 and 1404.
3- and 4-inch builds
16xx to 20xx stators, such as 1804 and 2004.
5-inch freestyle and racing
21xx to 24xx stators; 2207 and 2306 are the most common sizes.
7-inch and long range
25xx and larger, such as 2806.5 and 2807; X-class builds use larger motors still.

What to check before you buy
- Build and propeller
- Fix the propeller diameter, pitch and blade count, the all-up weight and the flying style before choosing a motor.
- Stator size and weight
- Compare stator size and complete motor weight with the stated wire length, against the frame and weight budget.
- KV and voltage
- Pick the KV version the manufacturer lists for your battery cell count and propeller.
- Thrust test data
- Ask for thrust, current and power tables with a named propeller and test voltage, including hover and cruise points.
- ESC and temperature
- Check peak current against the ESC rating, and motor temperature after a stated run time at your load.
- Mounting and shaft
- Confirm the mounting-hole pattern, screw size and depth, shaft diameter, propeller fixing and wire length.
- Production and spares
- Ask about sample lead time, batch marking and spare bells, shafts and bearings.
FPV motors FAQ
Are two motors with the same KV interchangeable?
Not by KV alone. Compare stator size, voltage rating, propeller test data, current draw, weight and mounting pattern.
Can the same motor run on 4S and 6S?
Only if the manufacturer lists that KV for both voltages with your propeller. Lower-KV versions are generally made for 6S and higher-KV versions for 4S.
How should I compare thrust figures?
Check the test voltage, propeller, current, run time and temperature behind each figure, and compare thrust at the throttle the aircraft will mostly fly at, not only peak thrust.
Can we order custom KV or branded motors?
Send the target KV, wire length, colour, branding and quantity with your enquiry. Our team asks manufacturers for options, order quantities and samples before production.
