FPV Drone, as a combination of technology and extreme sports in recent years, continues to attract enthusiasts around the world. With the iteration of technology, the performance of motors, as the core power component, directly determines the flight experience. This article will combine the popular discussion data on the entire network in the past 10 days to analyze the current mainstream motor models, parameter comparisons and purchasing suggestions for you.
1. Three major technical trends for traversing machines in 2024

1.Brushless motors have become absolutely mainstream: 98% of players choose brushless motors because of their high efficiency and long life.
2.Miniaturization combined with high KV value: For racks below 5 inches, the popularity of 2000-3000KV motors has increased by 37%.
3.Cooling technology upgrade: The number of searches for magnetic steel cooling hole design increased by 52% week-on-week.
2. Performance comparison of popular motor models
| Model | KV value | Applicable battery | Thrust(g) | Weight(g) | Price (yuan) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T-Motor F60 PRO IV | 1750KV | 6S | 3200 | 33.5 | 399 |
| iFlight XING2 2306 | 2450KV | 4S | 1850 | 31.2 | 259 |
| EMAX Eco II 2207 | 1900KV | 6S | 2600 | 29.8 | 289 |
| Racerstar BR2207 | 2600KV | 4S | 1750 | 30.5 | 198 |
3. Analysis of core parameters for motor purchase
1.KV value selection:
- 4S battery: 2200-2600KV recommended
- 6S battery: It is recommended to choose 1700-1900KV
2.size match:
- 5-inch frame: 2207/2306 motor
- 3-inch frame: 1404/1507 motor
4. Top 3 recent hotly discussed issues among users
| Ranking | question | Discussion popularity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Do high KV motors consume more power? | 4287 times |
| 2 | What to do after water enters the motor | 3156 times |
| 3 | Motor bearing maintenance cycle | 2894 times |
5. Practical tips for maintenance
1.Regular cleaning: Use compressed air to clean the dust inside the motor. The recommended frequency is after every 10 flights.
2.Bearing lubrication: Special bearing oil should be replenished every 50 hours, which can extend the service life by 2-3 times.
3.Temperature monitoring: The motor surface temperature should be <70°C after flight. If the temperature continues to be high, check the ESC matching.
6. Prospects for new products in 2024
1.T-Motor F80: The magnetic bearing technology motor to be released in August is expected to increase efficiency by 15%.
2.iFlight Titan: Concept model with titanium alloy shell, which reduces weight by 20% and improves heat dissipation.
3.HGLRC Flame: Double winding design motor, switchable between high and low KV modes.
Summary: When choosing a traversing machine motor, you need to consider the frame size, battery voltage and flying style. It is recommended that novices start with mainstream models such as the iFlight XING2 series, and advanced players can pay attention to new technology products that will be launched soon. The right motor combination will allow your ride to perform at its best.
