Product Overview:
The 2200KV Brushless DC Outrunner Motor is a high-performance, precision-engineered motor designed for hobbyists, makers, and professionals alike. With its 2200KV rating—meaning it spins at 2200 RPM per volt under no load—this motor delivers rapid acceleration and high rotational speed, making it ideal for lightweight RC aircraft, drones, and other high-RPM applications. Built from premium-grade materials including neodymium magnets, high-purity copper windings, and precision ball bearings, it offers excellent efficiency, durability, and power-to-weight ratio.
This motor requires an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) for operation and is a popular choice for applications where fast response and high thrust-to-weight performance are critical.

⚠️ Always consult the motor’s datasheet or use a motor calculator to prevent overloading and overheating.
Recommended ESC:
-
Match or exceed the motor’s maximum current draw
-
Add a 20–30% safety margin (e.g., a motor drawing 30A should use a 40A ESC)
-
Use BLHeli, SimonK, or other ESCs supporting brushless outrunner control
Important Considerations:
-
Battery Matching: Use LiPo batteries with adequate voltage and C-rating to meet current demands.
-
Prop Size Caution: Oversized props can overload the system—carefully test setups or refer to manufacturer guidance.
-
Thermal Management: Ensure proper airflow, especially in enclosed models or high-load applications.
-
Datasheet Reference: Always refer to the specific motor’s datasheet for exact specs, limits, and wiring configuration.
