Overview
The Hobbywing Skywalker 2316 SL Motor is a fixed-wing RC airplane motor designed for 3-4S LiPo setups, with KV options of 980KV / 1250KV / 1400KV. The Skywalker 2300 series (2312 / 2316 / 2320) is presented as a newly designed fixed-wing motor range with increased peak power capability, and supports propeller fitment to improve torque output.
Key Features
- 2300 series output claim: maximum output power is approximately 10% higher compared with competing motors of the same specification (as stated on product graphics).
- S.V.C Technology: “Significantly decrease rotor dynamic balance to minimize motor vibration and enhance operational smoothness.”
- Dynamic balance + precision build: production and assembly dynamic balance technology, premium bearings, and CNC machining are described to reduce rotor dynamic balance and motor vibration for quieter operation.
- Heat dissipation structure: large hollow design combined with the self-dissipating structure of the top cover to enhance heat dissipation and prolong motor lifespan.
- Multi anti-loosening rotor design: copper pad and retainer spring on the rotor shaft core, plus an added sleeve to prevent rotor loosening and improve reliability.
- Materials (as stated): JNEH1200 silicon steel sheet (0.2mm thick) for lower iron loss; N48 strong magnetic arc magnetic steel design for maximum torque output; 180 high temperature resistant enameled wire; silicone wire outlet for easier routing vs traditional straight outlet silicone wire.
- ESC pairing shown: “Best match with HOBBYWING Skywalker ESC” with 50A / 40A ESC shown on product graphics (selection depends on setup).

Details

The 2316 motor diagram provides key dimensions and mounting hole patterns to help confirm fitment before installation.

The Skywalker 2300 series includes the 2316 motor option, clearly labeled 1250KV for easy identification during setup.

The Skywalker fixed-wing motor series is presented with a power-vs-torque curve comparing SkyWalker 2312 980KV against another 2212 980KV motor.

The Skywalker 2316 SL motor uses a large hollow design and vented end bell to help heat dissipate during runs.

The Skywalker 2320 1100KV motor features S.V.C Technology to help reduce vibration and keep operation smooth.

The Skywalker 2316 SL motor uses a multi anti-loosening rotor design with a copper pad, retaining ring, and bushing for secure assembly.

Skywalker 2316 SL motor construction details include a 0.2mm silicon steel sheet and a silicone wire outlet designed for easier routing.
