A2212 Brushless Outrunner Motor
The A2212 is a standard brushless outrunner motor used in RC aircraft, including multirotors, fixed-wing planes, and DIY drones. It is known for its balance between weight and thrust, making it a common choice for budget-friendly hobbyist builds. This motor requires a Brushless Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to operate and is typically paired with 2S or 3S LiPo batteries.
Product Features
- Outrunner design: The outer bell rotates around the internal coils, providing high torque for direct-drive propellers.
- Steel motor shaft designed to withstand typical flight stresses and minor impacts.
- Pre-soldered bullet connectors (usually 3.5mm) for quick connection to an ESC.
- Compatible with various KV ratings (e.g., 930KV, 1000KV, 1400KV, 2200KV) to suit different propeller sizes and battery voltages.
- Includes a bolt-on propeller adapter and an X-style mounting plate for easy installation on airframes.
