Key Features
- Outrunner Motor Design — The outrunner configuration means the bell rotates around a fixed stator, delivering efficient power delivery and smooth performance characteristics that make it ideal for various RC applications including aircraft, cars, and other hobby projects.
- 6700Kv Rating — This Kv rating determines the motor's speed relative to applied voltage, giving you a balanced performance profile that works well with standard ESC and battery combinations used in RC hobby builds across the UK.
- 6-Pole Rotor — The six-pole design provides smoother commutation and more consistent torque delivery compared to lower pole-count motors, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced vibration during operation.
- Fixed Timing — Unlike adjustable timing motors that require configuration, this motor comes with fixed timing, eliminating setup complexity and making it immediately ready to install once you have the correct ESC and connectors in place.
- Multi-Adapter Connector — The convenient multi-adapter connector system ensures compatibility across different RC setups and ESCs, reducing the need for additional purchases and making the motor a flexible choice for various RC projects.
- Compact 1820 Size — The 1820-size form factor makes this motor suitable for space-constrained RC builds whilst maintaining sufficient power output for reliable performance across numerous RC applications.
Technical Performance
The E Flite Brushless Motor 1820-6700Kv is engineered to deliver consistent, reliable performance in demanding RC hobby applications. As an outrunner-style brushless motor, it combines efficient operation with smooth power delivery. The 6700Kv rating means this motor will reach approximately 6700 revolutions per minute for every volt of applied electrical pressure, a specification that works well with standard lithium polymer battery voltages commonly used in RC cars, trucks, and aircraft throughout the UK. The six-pole rotor design is a key engineering feature that contributes to the motor's smooth operation and torque characteristics, particularly noticeable during acceleration and under load. Brushless motors like this one offer significant advantages over traditional brushed motors, including higher efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, longer operational lifespan, and better heat management during extended use. The fixed timing configuration means this motor doesn't require complex ESC programming or timing adjustments before use, streamlining the build process considerably. The 1820 size is a recognised standard in RC hobby applications, making it easy to find compatible propellers, pinions, and mechanical components from multiple manufacturers. Build quality and engineering excellence are hallmarks of E Flite products, and this motor reflects that commitment to performance and reliability that RC enthusiasts depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the E Flite 1820-6700Kv brushless motor suitable for beginners? — Yes, this motor is beginner-friendly thanks to its fixed timing design that requires no complex configuration. As long as you pair it with an appropriate ESC and battery, you can install it and start using it without advanced technical knowledge. The E Flite brand is well-regarded for reliability and ease of use.
- What battery does the 1820-6700Kv motor need? — The specific battery voltage required depends on your ESC's capabilities and your motor's intended application. The 6700Kv rating works well with standard RC hobby battery voltages, typically ranging from 2S to 4S LiPo batteries (7.4V to 14.8V). Always consult your ESC specifications to ensure compatibility and safe operation.
- Can I use this motor for both RC cars and RC aircraft? — The 1820 outrunner design is versatile and can be used in various RC applications. However, the specific application (car, aircraft, boat, etc.) depends on your ESC, battery, and mechanical setup. Consult the documentation for your intended project to ensure compatibility.
- What makes brushless motors better than brushed motors? — Brushless motors like this 1820-6700Kv offer superior efficiency, meaning more of your battery's energy converts to useful power. They also require minimal maintenance, generate less heat, provide smoother operation, and last significantly longer than brushed alternatives, making them the standard choice for serious RC hobbyists in the UK and worldwide.
- What is the difference between this motor and other 1820-size brushless motors? — The primary differences lie in the Kv rating and pole count. This motor's 6700Kv rating and 6-pole rotor are specific to E Flite's design. Lower Kv motors spin slower but produce more torque, whilst higher Kv motors spin faster with less torque. The six-pole design provides smoother operation than four-pole alternatives. Choose based on your specific speed and power requirements.
- Is this motor waterproof? — The product specifications do not indicate a waterproof rating. Standard brushless motors are not waterproof and should be protected from water exposure. If you require a waterproof motor, consult RC Model Shop for alternatives specifically designed for wet conditions.
