Hobbywing XRotor X6 Plus G2 Propulsion System for Agricultural Drone 12-14S, IPX6, 12.5 kg Thrust

Overview

The Hobbywing XRotor X6 Plus G2 is a propulsion system for agricultural drone platforms, designed for agricultural plant protection drones and small-to-mid UAVs. It supports a rated single-axis load of 6 kg (at sea level) with up to 12.5 kg max thrust per axis (at sea level), and fits 30 mm tube arms.

It features an IPX6 ingress protection rating for harsh environments and uses a FOC-based ESC (optimized for PMSM) for efficient heavy-load operation. The X6 Plus G2 supports real-time data exchange via CAN interface and dual throttle redundancy control (PWM + CAN).
