The A2212 13T 1000KV Brushless DC Motor is a widely used outrunner BLDC motor for DIY RC aircraft and multirotor builds. Known for its good balance of efficiency and power, it’s a popular choice for RC planes, quadcopters, drones, and hobby robotics where lightweight, high-RPM performance is needed.
As an outrunner motor, the outer can rotates around the stator, producing strong torque for spinning propellers efficiently. With a 1000KV rating, this motor is well suited for common prop sizes and typical 2S–3S LiPo battery setups (with a compatible ESC). It’s commonly used in training aircraft, foam planes, and small-to-mid multirotors.
KV indicates RPM per volt (no-load).
A 1000KV motor spins at approximately 1000 RPM per volt (no-load), so:
