Details

The XRotor V8014 motor uses a 4-bolt mount layout with clearly defined diameters and height dimensions to help confirm fitment on VTOL frames.

The XRotor V8014 170KV V Series motor features a vented black housing with a multi-hole mounting face for VTOL drone builds.

Hobbywing XRotor V8014 170KV motor specs list a maximum thrust of up to 21.0 kg at 46V.

The XRotor V8014 motor uses a built-in large-area heat sink to help dissipate internal heat during high-speed operation.

The XRotor V8014 170KV motor uses a high-efficiency centrifugal air cooling system with vented housing to help dissipate heat during operation.

An optional intelligent propeller control setup with Hobbywing IPC ESCs lets you adjust propeller stop position to help reduce forward-flight drag.

The XRotor V8014 motor design calls out imported high-precision bearings, a seamless steel motor bell with nickel-electrophoresis coating, and customized tile magnets fitted into the rotor casing.

The V8014 170KV setup guide pairs a 12S LiPo with MSC 26x8.5, 27x8.8, or 28x9.2 propellers and XRotor Pro H80A/H100A/H130A 14S ESCs for 5.5–7.5 kg thrust per rotor and a 22–30 kg quadrotor take-off weight.
