Whether you're looking for a brushless RC motor for sport flying, aerobatic performance, or general recreational flight, this motor delivers professional-grade reliability.
Key Features
- 1950 KV Rating — The 1950 KV specification provides a moderate motor speed constant, designed specifically to balance power delivery and efficiency for 90mm aircraft applications. This rating ensures adequate thrust without excessive power draw, extending flight times whilst maintaining responsive flight characteristics.
- 3670 Motor Size — The 36mm diameter and 70mm length dimensions create an optimal power-to-weight ratio for medium-scale electric aircraft, providing sufficient internal winding capacity for reliable performance whilst keeping overall aircraft weight to a minimum.
- OEM Compatibility — This motor is the original equipment manufacturer part for FMS's 90mm aircraft lineup, guaranteeing perfect mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 90mm Avanti, 90mm Super Scorpion, and 90mm Super Scorpion V2 models.
- Brushless Technology — Brushless motor construction eliminates carbon brush wear, reducing maintenance requirements and providing longer operational lifespan compared to brushed alternatives, delivering consistent performance across hundreds of flight hours.
- Professional Engineering — FMS Hobby's decades of expertise in RC aircraft design translates to motor specifications that have been thoroughly tested and validated across multiple aircraft platforms and flight conditions.
Technical Performance
The FMS PREDATOR 3670-KV1950 Motor represents a carefully calibrated engineering solution for electric powered 90mm scale aircraft. The 3670 size designation refers to a 36mm stator diameter with a 70mm motor length, creating an optimal balance between power output and aircraft integration. The 1950 KV rating indicates the motor will produce approximately 1950 revolutions per minute for every volt of electrical input, making it suitable for operating on 3S or 4S LiPo battery systems commonly used in electric RC aircraft. This KV specification has been specifically chosen to deliver the thrust characteristics required for smooth, responsive flight whilst maintaining reasonable power consumption and flight duration. The brushless motor design ensures minimal electromagnetic interference, vibration-free operation, and the reliability demanded by serious RC pilots. Build quality is evidenced through the manufacturer's selection of this motor for their premium aircraft line, indicating rigorous quality control and performance validation during the design phase. When paired with an appropriately rated electronic speed controller—typically a 30-50A unit for this motor's application—and a well-balanced LiPo battery pack, the motor will deliver years of trouble-free operation with minimal maintenance beyond periodic inspection of the rotor bearings.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FMS 3670-KV1950 motor suitable for beginners in RC aircraft? — Whilst this is a quality OEM component, it is best suited for pilots with existing experience in electric powered RC aircraft operation. Beginners should ensure they have a complete understanding of battery charging procedures, speed controller programming, and aircraft setup before operating this motor. It is recommended to purchase complete ready-to-fly aircraft rather than individual components if you are new to the hobby.
- Which FMS aircraft models use this motor? — The FMS PREDATOR 3670-KV1950 is specifically designed as the original equipment motor for three FMS aircraft: the 90mm Avanti, the 90mm Super Scorpion, and the 90mm Super Scorpion V2. It provides the precise power characteristics these airframes require for optimal performance.
- What power system components do I need to complete this motor installation? — To operate this motor, you will require a brushless electronic speed controller rated for approximately 30-50A, a 3S or 4S LiPo battery pack, a battery charger, balance connectors, and appropriate wiring. Ensure all components are rated for the motor's power output and your aircraft's weight specifications.
- What is the 1950 KV rating and why does it matter? — The 1950 KV rating determines how quickly the motor spins relative to the voltage supplied. With a 1950 KV motor, you will achieve approximately 1950 RPM per volt of input. This specific rating has been engineered to deliver the optimal power and thrust characteristics for 90mm scale aircraft, ensuring efficient energy utilisation and appropriate flight performance.
- Is this an original FMS component or a replacement? — This is the official original equipment motor specified by FMS Hobby for their 90mm aircraft range. It is the genuine factory component designed to deliver the exact performance characteristics these aircraft were engineered to achieve.
