1103 FPV Motors

5 motors with a 1103 stator from 3 brands, typically spinning 40-65mm whoop/micro props. They weigh 3.2–4.6 g and come in 7000–11000KV windings. The name is the stator size in millimetres: a 1103 stator is 11 mm across and about 3 mm tall.

1103 thrust from manufacturer bench tests

3 of these motors come with the manufacturer's own thrust test. Each row is that motor's peak-thrust point, the prop and battery it was measured with, and the efficiency at 50% throttle in the same test. Every brand runs its own bench with its own props, so compare rows that share a prop and cell count; this is not one like-for-like test.

How to read these columns: reading motor bench tables. Turn thrust into a build's thrust-to-weight ratio with the TWR calculator.
