Manufacturer bench figures (VCI Hobby bench, 1950 KV at 6S (24 V) on four 5in props and 2450 KV at 4S (16 V) on one, 8 throttle points (30-100%) each); 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. The product page sells three windings and publishes TWO tables, 1950 KV and 2450 KV, and the 1950 KV is not one of the windings our retail source lists (1850 and 2450); the rows are published and `kv_options` is left alone, which is this dataset's standing practice, so MAX THRUST READS 1831 g, WHICH IS THE 1950 KV WINDING. The two windings were benched on different packs - the 1950 KV at 6S (24 V), the 2450 KV at 4S (16 V) - and each row reproduces its own sheet's identities against its own voltage. Each winding's Specifications panel lands on a row: 45.03 A / 1080.72 W is the 1950 KV's GF 51499-3 100% row, 50.46 A / 807.36 W the 2450 KV's GF 6030-3 100% row. ONE SOURCE FACT RECORDED RATHER THAN REPAIRED: the 1950 KV's HQ 5*4*3 run prints an RPM column that FALLS where its thrust rises - 22875 at 70%, 22161 at 80%, 21052 at 90%, then 31165 at 100% - against the other three runs' steady climb; it is published as printed. Identity with our retail listing is the 2208 stator (the panels print Ø22*L8 mm), the M5 shaft and 36.3 g including cable.
