Hobbywing XRotor X8 G2 Propulsion System for Agriculture Drone (12-14S), IPX6, 17.5 kg Max Thrust

Overview

The Hobbywing XRotor X8 G2 is an integrated drone propulsion system for agriculture drone platforms and other small to medium-sized drones. It is designed for agricultural plant protection drones, offering a recommended takeoff weight per axis of 5~7.5 kg (sea level) and a max thrust of 17.5 kg (sea level).

The system supports 12S~14S (LiPo) and features IPX6 ingress protection for harsh operating environments. The ESC uses FOC control (optimized for PMSM) for heavy-load efficiency.

Key Features

• New-generation integrated drone propulsion system (X8 G2)
• Powerful thrust and high-speed flight: maximum flight speed reaches up to 20 m/s; maximum flight speed increased by 40%
• Reduced weight: X8 weight (incl. prop) 1150 g; X8 G2 weight (incl. prop) 1095 g; weight reduction described as 5%
• Dual throttle redundancy control: CAN (digital signal) + PWM (analog signal)
• Real-time data interaction via CAN interface for monitoring speed, throttle, current, voltage, temperature
• Supports DroneCAN and HWCAN (default); communication protocol listed as Cyphal (UAVCAN)
• Independent black box log feature: supports up to 20 hours of operation data storage
• Multiple protection mechanisms: over-current, motor stall, throttle loss, temperature anomaly monitoring, and over/under-voltage protection (function can be enabled/disabled as needed)
• Multiple parameter adjustment modes: adjust drive parameters, motor rotation direction, LED color, and other settings via remote controller or DataLink software; OTA function supports multi-ESC firmware upgrades in one drone
• Structural design: aluminum alloy tube clamp and aluminum alloy base; reinforced internal beam; triple interlocking structure
• Harsh-environment design notes: high-temperature resistant enamel wire (withstands temperatures up to 200°C); liquid drainage channel; IPX6
• Upgrade notes: no structural modifications required to upgrade; MFP 30x11S (with adapter) and MFP 30x11 (with adapter) are compatible with the installation structures; only one propeller type can be installed on the same adapter to avoid dynamic balance issues

Test/Reference Notes (from provided materials)

*Based on internal test data from HOBBYWING, comparative calculation of battery capacity consumption over the same flight distance was obtained at forward flight speeds of 12 m/s and 20 m/s on a quadcopter flying at sea level in 34°C ambient temperature, both no-load and at rated payload. Actual results may vary with different airframe configurations, battery models, and test conditions, for reference only.

Applications

• Agricultural plant protection drones
• Small to medium-sized drones requiring an integrated 12S~14S propulsion system

Details

The XRotor X8 G2 integrated motor and propeller assembly is labeled for 12–14S setups for agriculture drone builds.

The XRotor X8 G2 integrated propulsion unit pairs a compact, lightweight motor design with flexible communication options for small to medium drones.

XRotor X8 G2 propulsion performance is presented with a single-axis rated thrust of 5–7.5 kg and a maximum flight speed up to 20 m/s.

The XRotor X8 G2 pairs with an MFP 30x11S folding propeller and lists a 1095 g weight (including prop) for a lighter propulsion setup.

The XRotor X8 G2 propulsion system is designed for straightforward installation and flight controller matching when upgrading an existing agriculture drone.

DataLink software, a mobile app, and a remote controller let you adjust drive parameters like motor rotation direction and LED settings, with OTA firmware updates supported.

Dual throttle redundancy combines CAN digital signals with PWM analog signals to support real-time monitoring and control integration.

The XRotor X8 G2 includes an independent black box log feature with up to 20 hours of operation data storage for troubleshooting via DataLink software.

The XRotor X8 G2 motor uses an aluminum alloy tube clamp and base for a secure, serviceable mounting setup on drone arms.

The XRotor X8 G2 motor is labeled for 12–14S use and features IPX6 ingress protection with a liquid drainage channel.

The XRotor X8 G2 12–14S propulsion system integrates multiple protection mechanisms such as over-current and over/under-voltage protection for more secure flights.
