Product overview
The HOBBYWING RTF 4218 is an FPV propulsion motor offered in 350KV and 560KV versions. Procurement therefore concerns a motor component. Its construction combines a 12N14P slot-and-pole arrangement, 626ZZ bearings and arc-shaped magnets. The propeller mount incorporates cooling features and anti-slip teeth. HOBBYWING also describes multi-strand windings and thin stator laminations.
Both variants have a published motor envelope of 50mm diameter by 39.8mm height and a stator measuring 42mm diameter by 18mm. The listed mechanical interfaces include a 6mm axle, a 25mm shaft and a 30mm mounting pattern with four M4 positions. These dimensions provide a starting point for checking installation space and attachment geometry, subject to confirmation of the selected configuration. Both versions list 500mm, 14AWG wiring. Published mass includes that wire: 287g for the 350KV version and 285g for the 560KV version.
Electrical selection differs by variant: the 350KV motor is listed for 8S LiPo, while the 560KV motor is listed for 6S LiPo. Recommended combination: specific propeller and ESC combinations without stating that these items are supplied. Rated outputs are 560W and 624W respectively. Maximum current carries a non-hermetic, ambient-temperature qualification of ≤25°C, while maximum current and power also carry variant-specific time limits. Published maximum thrust is 7.3kg or 7.7kg, but the supplied table does not identify the measurement setup; buyers should confirm the intended combination before relying on those figures.
