ZMX v1 2205 2800kv Full Results  [CLICK HERE]

  

This motor is yet another in the high KV testing range, continuing with the 2205 stator size. This is the 2800kv version of the ZMX v1 motor.  Silver-drone sent this over for testing. Again, this motor is identical in build quality to the 2350kv and the 2633kv I tested in on the 2300kv series of motor tests.  The seme repairability and replacement parts apply to this motor as the others in the series. In fact they all use the same bell, so all the parts except for the stator should be interchangable between motors, which is a nice bonus. Other than that, there's nothing different with this motor, except to reiterate the bit about checking the shaft for play and reseating it if needed.  This motor started out a bit rough for me till I remembered to check that, and then it was buttery smooth.

Results

This motor has an extra 170kv over the 2633kv model, and results are about exactly what you'd expect to see. About a 50g increase in thrust on the lighter weight 4" props, tapering off a bit on the higher end to about 20g-30g on the 5" props where it starts to loose torque under static load.  Amp draw rises accordingly as well, so watch your batteries!  It's also worth noting that the differences between these is likely to be more in flight than under static load on the bench, thanks to the nature of dynamic load vs static load. I would expect forward speed to be proportionately more than the relative thrust difference between the motors.  All around some good results on this motor, though, especially on midrange 4" props.  Almost 950g sustained on 4x4x3 at only 24.5A is quite impressive.
