Manufacturer bench figures (VCI Hobby bench, 1350 KV and 1550 KV at 6S (24 V), 8 throttle points (30-100%) per KV on two and three 6-7in props); real-world thrust varies with ESC, battery sag and prop condition.

Where this data comes from

The rows are VCI Hobby's own 'Testing Data' table, published as an image in the Specifications tab of the motor's product page on vcihobby.com. VCI sells and benches this motor in two windings and both tables are here; `kv_options` keeps the 1350 KV our retail source sells, so MAX THRUST READS 2650 g, WHICH IS THE 1550 KV WINDING on a GF 7037-3 - the 1350 KV's own best is 2457 g on the same prop. Every row reproduces the sheet's two identities (printed Power = 24 V x printed current, printed Efficiency = Thrust / Power). The spec-block cross-check lands on a row for the 1350 KV (46.24 A / 1109.76 W, which BOTH of its props reach at 100%) and on the middle of the table for the 1550 KV, whose panel states 44.48 A / 1067.6 W - the GF 6040-3 100% row - while its GF 7037-3 run goes on to 53.07 A and 1273.68 W. Identity with our retail listing is 1350 KV, the 2808 stator (the panel prints Ø28*L8 mm), the M5 shaft, 6S and 72.4 g including cable; the 1550 KV panel prints 73.3 g for the same body.
