This is a companion topic for our recent blog post on blog.unmanned.tech
Chris Rosser has been losing sleep (and probably a few marbles) testing over forty Tiny Whoop motors to identify the crème de la crème for your 65mm Whoops. He delves into brands like BetaFPV, Newbie Drone, and WeBleed FPV, with findings that might just help you pick the right motor—unless you fancy an expensive paperweight.
The blog explains KV ratings—essentially how many spins per minute you’ll get per volt—and how some motors, like the Tiny Whoop Moon Travellers, boast impressive numbers while others might mislead you by up to 15%. Weight, as it turns out, is also rather important; even a gram here or there can affect performance. The Newbie Drone Hummingbird Race Spec claims the title of lightest contender, proving that less really can be more.
In his tests, Chris finds that RCinPower motors show remarkable performance, suggesting that compact motors can indeed hold their own. On the efficiency front, lower KV ratings typically outperform their higher counterparts, which is music to the ears of those who prefer longer battery life over sheer thrust.
To top it all off, Chris shares his top five motors, with the Tiny Whoop Moon Travellers taking the crown for efficiency and performance. Curious to see how they stack up? Take a gander at the full details in his video.
