Overview
The Hobbywing V8017 160KV IPC motor is designed for 28~40kg VTOL fixed wing drones. It is specified with max thrust up to 22.5kg, and a load performance figure lists maximum thrust up to 22.7kg. An optional IPC (intelligent propeller control) version can be used with Hobbywing IPC ESCs to adjust propeller stop position to reduce forward-flight drag and increase flight time.
Key Features
- V Series, specially designed for VTOL platforms
- Large thrust-to-weight ratio; motor magnetic circuit design is intended to increase torque and improve response under demanding conditions
- Built-in large-area heat sink for continuous heat dissipation at high speed
- High-efficiency centrifugal air cooling system for high-current and high-temperature operation readiness
- Optional intelligent propeller control (IPC) to flexibly adjust propeller stop position when matched with Hobbywing IPC ESCs
- Imported high-precision bearings
- Customized tile magnet designed to fit into the rotor casing
- Seamless steel motor bell with nickel-electrophoresis coating design, stated to provide magnetic conductivity and corrosion resistance for the outer rotor casing
- Optimization design stated to improve torque and power, with weight reduced by 10%

Details

The V8017 motor’s dimensional layout includes 89.10 mm outer diameter, 50.45 mm body height, and multiple M3/M4 mounting hole patterns for fit checks.

The Hobbywing V8017 160KV motor features a compact round housing with ventilation slots and a front mounting hole pattern for straightforward installation.

The Hobbywing V8017 160KV IPC motor is rated for up to 22.7 kg maximum thrust.

The Hobbywing V8017 160KV IPC motor uses a built-in large-area heat sink to help dissipate internal heat during high-speed rotation.

The Hobbywing V8017 160KV IPC motor uses a centrifugal air-cooling design with vented housing to help manage internal heat at speed.

An optional intelligent propeller control version pairs with Hobbywing IPC ESCs to adjust propeller stop position.

The V8017 motor uses high-precision bearings, a seamless steel motor bell with nickel-electrophoresis coating, and a tile magnet design that fits into the rotor casing.

The V8017 160KV (IPC) setup guide lists 12S LiPo power, MSC 27x8.8 to 29x9.5 propellers, and XRotor Pro H100A/H130A 14S ESC options for pairing.
