Product overview

The T-MOTOR VL8020 KV170 VTOL drone motor provides propulsion for industrial aerial work, mapping and medium payload transport. Designed around 12S power, it produces up to 19.7kg of thrust per motor, with suitability for a 35kg MTOW quadrotor UAV on 12S systems. Its 360° electronic propeller locking system enables compatible ESCs to hold the propellers during cruise flight. This cruise-flight function lowers propeller drag and contributes to improved aerodynamic efficiency.

For continuous-load operation, the motor combines magnets rated at 180°C with enameled wire rated at 220°C and a stator coating rated at 150°C. Centrifugal cooling built into the motor increases airflow to limit temperature rise during sustained operation. Imported 6901 bearings work alongside a ≤10mg dynamic balance standard to promote smooth, low-vibration rotation. The IPX5 protection rating provides resistance to rain, snow and humidity. Warranty coverage runs for 12 months from purchase and requires valid proof of purchase.
