2808 FPV Motors

5 motors with a 2808 stator from 4 brands, typically spinning 7-8in props. They weigh 53.6–72.4 g and come in 1300–1950KV windings. The name is the stator size in millimetres: a 2808 stator is 28 mm across and about 8 mm tall.

2808 thrust from manufacturer bench tests

5 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.
