A2212 10T/13T 1000KV Brushless Drone Motor
A2212 1000KV Brushless Outrunner Motor for Drones
The A2212 1000KV brushless DC motor is a reliable outrunner designed for multirotor and fixed-wing hobby aircraft. With a KV rating of 1000 RPM per volt, it strikes a balance between torque and speed, making it ideal for 8- to 10-inch propellers on 3S LiPo batteries. Its compact 22 mm stator diameter and 12 mm height keep weight low while maintaining efficiency.

- Fixed-wing drone like the FT Explorer or simple delta wing
- Custom camera gimbal with direct-drive motor control
Compatibility
This motor mates with common 30 A SimonK or BLHeli ESCs using 3.5 mm bullet connectors. It works with any flight controller that outputs standard PWM signals, including Betaflight, ArduPilot, and KK2 boards. A 3S battery with at least 2200 mAh capacity and 30C discharge is recommended for stable flight.
Wiring Notes
The three motor wires connect in any order to the three ESC output pads; swapping any two reverses rotation. Ensure the bullet connectors are fully seated and insulated. No pull-up resistors are needed, but keep the ESC power and signal wires away from the motor bell to avoid interference.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino-based flight controllers?
Yes, it works with any Arduino-compatible board that generates PWM signals, such as MultiWii or custom builds using the Servo library. Just ensure the ESC is properly calibrated.
Can I use a 4S battery with this motor?
While physically possible, it is not recommended. On 4S, the motor will draw excessive current and overheat with 10-inch props. Use only 2Sā3S within the rated voltage range.
Does the motor come with mounting screws and a propeller adapter?
The motor includes an X-shaped mounting bracket and a collet-style prop adapter for 5 mm shafts. M3 screws for mounting are not included; use standard frame hardware.
