Hobbywing XRotor 2812 FPV Brushless Motor (900KV / 1100KV)

Crashing a 7-inch rig hurts, but building an 8-inch cinematic cruiser that handles like wet cardboard hurts worse. Meet the Hobbywing XRotor 2812 Brushless Motor series, the cure for your heavyweight tuning nightmares. Available in both 900KV and 1100KV variants, this high-performance powerhouse pairs perfectly with an XRotor FPV G2 65A 4in1 ESC to eliminate mid-flight desyncs and prop wash oscillations. At Unmanned Tech Shop UK, we have spent 10 years in the manufacturing and delivery of commercial FPV systems, meaning we know exactly how fast cheap components turn into magic smoke. Engineered with a 12N14P slot-pole geometry and N52 strong arc-shaped magnetic tiles, these motors provide massive torque, linear throttle response, and genuine mechanical reliability right when you are pulling out of a dive over the British countryside.

Key Highlights

• Extreme Thermal Headroom: Features 220°C high-temperature resistant, H-Class enameled wire winding to survive aggressive multi-minute cinematic pulls without burning out.
• Maximum Magnetic Grip: Employs premium N52 arc-shaped strong magnetic tiles and ultra-thin 0.2mm silicon steel sheets to maximize torque density and motor efficiency.
• Tailored KV Options: Choose the 900KV model for high-efficiency, long-range cinematic cruising, or step up to the 1100KV variant for maximum raw power and thrust.
• Heavy-Duty D5+M5 Shaft: A reinforced 15mm titanium-alloy hybrid shaft keeps your heavy 8-inch propellers locked down through high-RPM concrete impacts.

Why You Want It

Let’s be honest: you’re buying this because you’re tired of small stator motors getting bogged down on heavy camera rigs. Hobbywing used a multi-strand enameled wire winding design that increases the slot full rate by roughly 5%, keeping internal resistance low. For you, that means less wasted battery heat and more raw electrical energy converted into a ridiculous peak of up to 3,722g of thrust. Whether you are running Betaflight, ArduPilot, or custom iNav cinematic tunes, the precision dynamic balancing on these ~83g stators ensures your gyros stay clean and your blackbox logs look like a flat line instead of a horror movie.

FAQ

What is the best propeller size and battery voltage for this XRotor 2812 motor?

The manufacturer explicitly recommends running these motors on a 4S to 6S LiPo battery setup paired directly with an HQ8x4.5x3 triple-blade propeller for the optimal balance of continuous current draw and peak thrust delivery.

Which KV should I choose for my drone build?

Select the 900KV option if your primary goal is maximum flight time, high efficiency, and smoother cinematic long-range cruising. Opt for the 1100KV option if you need extra punch to handle heavy payloads, faster recovery out of dives, and maximum top-end thrust.

Can I use a lower amp ESC with this 2812 motor?

Since the 1100KV variant can pull a massive continuous current of 64.1A for 10-second bursts, pairing it with anything under a true 60A–65A rated speed controller is an excellent way to turn your electronics stack into an expensive campfire. Stick to the suggested XRotor G2 65A 4in1 ESC.

Disclaimer

FPV heavy-lifters are not toys. This single motor can pull over 1500W of power—enough to shave off a stray thumb if you accidentally arm your quadcopter on your workbench. Always remove your 8-inch props before flashing firmware, configuring bidirectional DShot, or testing motor directions in Betaflight. Unmanned Tech Shop UK accepts zero liability for shredded curtains or self-inflicted skin grafts.

Still Here?

Look, your current long-range build is under-motored and you know it. You can either buy these genuine Hobbywing workhorses now, or you can watch your heavy cinematic rig desync and fall out of the sky on your next paid shoot while the client watches. Your choice. We need the warehouse space anyway.
