Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the maximum thrust of the D2810 1180KV motor?

When paired with a 7x4x3 propeller and 6S LiPo battery, the D2810 1180KV delivers a maximum static thrust of 2341g (2.34kg) at 100% throttle, with a stable operating temperature of 101℃.

What battery voltage is compatible with the D2810 1180KV motor?

This motor is optimized for 3S to 6S LiPo batteries (12V-24V), with flexible configuration for both long-endurance low-power setups and high-response VTOL hybrid drone builds.

What ESC should I use with the D2810 1180KV motor?

We recommend pairing the D2810 1180KV with a 6S 60A brushless ESC, specifically designed for multirotor, VTOL, and agricultural drone applications, to ensure reliable power delivery and precise throttle response.

Is the D2810 1180KV suitable for VTOL and agricultural spray drones?

Yes. This motor is purpose-built for VTOL hybrid aircraft and small agricultural crop duster drones, with a balanced mid-KV design, heavy-duty construction, dynamic balanced rotor, and customizable waterproofing to withstand harsh farming and outdoor flight environments.

What is the difference between D2810 1180KV and D2810 980KV motors?

The D2810 1180KV has a higher mid-KV rating for faster dynamic throttle response and smoother VTOL flight transitions, making it ideal for hybrid fixed-wing VTOL platforms. The D2810 980KV has a lower KV rating for higher low-end torque, better suited for pure heavy-lift agricultural spray drone and long-endurance mapping applications. Both share the same 70g weight, 28x10mm stator, and 19×19mm mounting pattern for cross-compatibility.
