Overview

The Hobbywing XRotor V8014 170KV is a VTOL drone motor designed for vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing VTOL platforms. It is specified for up to 21 kg maximum thrust and supports 12S LiPo setups.

Key Features

  • V Series motor designed for VTOL power systems.
  • Large thrust-to-weight ratio; maximum thrust can reach 21 kg @ 46 V (V8014 170KV).
  • Built-in large-area heat sink.
  • High-efficiency centrifugal air cooling system for continuous heat dissipation at high speed.
  • Protection level: IPX5.
  • Isolation test: 500 V AC high voltage resistance test.
  • Imported high-precision bearings; specified as waterproof bearing.
  • Seamless steel motor bell with nickel-electrophoresis coating design (outer rotor casing).
  • Customized tile magnet seamlessly fits into the rotor casing.
  • Optional intelligent propeller control version; can be matched with Hobbywing IPC ESCs to adjust propeller stop position, reducing forward-flight drag and increasing flight time.
  • Ultimate optimization design: improves torque and power; weight reduced by 10%.
