Overview
The Hobbywing Skywalker 2312 SL Motor is a 2300 series motor with KV options of 980 / 1250 / 1400 / 2450 KV, designed for fixed-wing power setups. Recommended battery is 3–4S LiPo, with 100 mm lead wires.
Key Features
- S.V.C Technology: Experience Superior Vibration Control & smooth operation. Significantly decrease rotor dynamic balance to minimize motor vibration and enhance operational smoothness.
- High power, strong performance: The newly designed 2312, 2316, and 2320 fixed-wing motors have obvious advantages in maximum output power, and the assembly of propellers can provide for a greater torque force.
- Compared with competing motors of the same specification, the maximum output power is approximately 10% higher (SkyWalker 2312 980KV vs a brand of motor 2212 980KV).
- Excellent heat dissipation structure: The large hollow design, combined with the self-dissipating structure of the top cover, enhances the heat dissipation capacity of the motor and prolongs the lifespan of the motor.
- Multi-anti-loosening rotor design: After installing the copper pad and retainer spring on the core of the rotor shaft, add a sleeve to prevent the rotor from loosening, thus increasing the reliability of the motor.
- Excellent materials: Top branded JNEH1200 silicon steel sheet, 0.2 mm thick material, provides lower iron loss. N48 strong magnetic arc magnetic steel design provides maximum torque output for the motor. Silicone wire outlet, which is softer and easier to route than the traditional straight outlet silicone wire.
