Product overview
The T-MOTOR VL1165 KV60 is a UAV propulsion motor with a 36N40P configuration, centrifugal cooling and an IPX5 rating. Its cylindrical envelope measures Φ120.5 × 67.9 mm, and its 1710 g weight includes the cable. The electrical specification pairs a 60 RPM/V speed constant with 24S LiPo operation. Package dimensions are 282 × 172 × 80 mm; no itemized supplied-equipment configuration is established.
The characterized propulsion combination uses the VL200A 24S ESC and VZ42 ×16.5-inch propeller, without establishing that both accompany the motor. The ESC supports PWM/CAN control and electronic propeller locking, with a 108 V maximum. Its 200 A peak rating applies for 10 seconds in an open environment at ≤60°C; 120 A continuous operation depends on heat dissipation. Motor continuous power is specified as 3500 W for 180 seconds. Performance tables are bench-test reference values, with comparison against other motor types discouraged; the 108°C coil reading applies after 10 minutes at 88.8 V and a 30 kg load.
