The 816 Micro Coreless Drone Motor CW is a clockwise-rotation 8mm × 16mm brushed coreless motor rated at 48,000 RPM at 3.7V with 0.15A current draw, metal construction, 1mm shaft, and a 10cm cable, operating from -10°C to 50°C. This drone motor’s 48,000 RPM an extremely high kV rating — kV (RPM per volt) is the motor speed constant, and at this voltage-to-RPM ratio, this is a designed to spin lightweight micro propellers at maximum speed.
The 816 mini drone motor’s performance in a real build will slightly from the rated 48,000 RPM because actual drops as the LiPo battery voltage sags under load during flight — a 3.7V nominal cell drops closer to 3.2-3.5V under the current draw of four rc drone motors simultaneously, reducing actual in-flight accordingly. Propeller size matching is important for this cw coreless motor — micro propellers rated for 816-size motors (typically 55mm or 65mm diameter) are matched to the motor’s RPM range and current capacity.
this 816 coreless motor price reflects a brushed design that requires correct CW/CCW pairing in a quadcopter — this clockwise motor must be installed on the front-left and rear-right positions, with CCW motors on the remaining two positions. This motor is well-suited for learners and hobbyists developing compact drone, mini drones and RC aircraft projects. Available from StemVolt.
