Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the 335KV and 400KV versions of the 5008 disc brushless motor?
A: The 335KV version spins at a lower RPM per volt, making it ideal for heavier, larger propellers (up to 1755) and heavy-lift multi-rotor builds where efficiency and sustained thrust are the priority. The 400KV version produces higher RPM per volt, offering more responsive throttle feel and slightly higher peak thrust at the cost of slightly lower efficiency. Choose 335KV for endurance and lifting payload, and 400KV for a more dynamic flight profile.
Q: Do I need to buy the ESC separately, or can I get a bundle?
A: This listing offers both options. You can purchase the 5008 brushless motor on its own if you already have a compatible 40–50A ESC, or you can select the bundle option which includes a matched 40A ESC for a complete, plug-and-play power system with no additional sourcing required.
Q: What propellers are compatible with the 5008 disc brushless motor?
A: The motor is compatible with 1555, 1655, and 1755 carbon fiber propellers, as well as 15–17 inch folding propellers. All three propeller sizes have been tested at various throttle levels, and full performance data is provided in the thrust tables above to help you choose the best match for your build requirements.
Q: What battery configuration does the 5008 disc brushless motor support?
A: The 5008 brushless motor is designed for use with 6S lithium battery packs. All performance test data in this listing was recorded at a stable 24V supply, which corresponds to a nominal 6S LiPo voltage. Using the correct battery configuration ensures optimal performance and motor longevity.
