❓ What motor specifications matter for drone performance?

Motor specifications directly impact drone performance and efficiency:

• KV rating: Ranges from 900KV to 2300KV, lower for larger props, higher for racing
• Motor size: Common sizes include 2204, 2206, 2306 (first two digits = stator width, last two = height)
• Thrust rating: Should provide at least 2:1 thrust-to-weight ratio
• Power consumption: Typically 10-30W per motor for small drones

According to NASA research, motor efficiency and power management are crucial for extending flight time and improving overall performance.
