Manufacturer bench figures (VCI Hobby bench, 2160 KV at 6S (24 V), 8 throttle points (30-100%) on each of three 5.1in props); real-world thrust varies with ESC, battery sag and prop condition.

2207 LT vs other 2207 motors on 6S

The same thrust costs different power on different motors. Each line is one maker's own bench series (6S, its own prop), drawn as grams of thrust per watt against thrust, so a higher line makes that thrust for less battery current. Throttle percent is left out on purpose: it means something different on every maker's rig.

Power at 875 g and 1750 g is read off each maker's curve, straight-line between its two nearest bench points; 1750 g is the highest thrust every motor here reached. Different props and rigs move these curves as much as the motor does, so compare rows on a similar prop. Peak thrust of every 2207 motor: 2207 motors compared.

Thrust-to-weight with this motor

Four VCI HOBBY 2207 LT motors at 1923 g max thrust each give 7692 g: 2:1, the minimum to fly, up to 3846 g all-up; 4:1 (freestyle) up to 1923 g; 8:1 (racing) up to 961.5 g.

Where this data comes from

The rows are VCI Hobby's own 'Testing Data' table, published as an image in the Specifications tab of the motor's product page on vcihobby.com. One winding, three props, eight throttle points each at a fixed 24 V, and every row reproduces both of the sheet's identities (printed Power = 24 V x printed current, printed Efficiency = Thrust / Power). The cross-check against the sheet's own Specifications panel lands on a row: its 47.01 A / 1128.24 W is the GF 5129-3 100% row. Identity with our retail listing is 2160 KV, the 2207 stator (the panel prints Ø22*L7 mm), the M5 shaft, 6S and 30 g including cable. ONE SOURCE FACT RECORDED RATHER THAN REPAIRED: the GF 5127.5-3 and GF 5129-3 runs print an IDENTICAL RPM column - 13457, 17714, 21375, 25002, 27830, 31191, 33480, 34354 on both - which two bench runs do not produce; the third prop's column differs throughout. Both are published as printed. The panel also prints the magnets as '55SH', where the Spark sheets of the same stator print 'N52SH'.
