Description

The Hobbywing SkyWalker 2316SL motor is designed for pilots seeking reliable and efficient propulsion for fixed-wing platforms. Its 980KV rating provides an optimal balance of torque and RPM, ideal for swinging larger propellers efficiently on 3S and 4S power systems. The outrunner design maximizes cooling and offers a favorable power-to-weight ratio for extended flight sessions.

Built with a precision-machined aluminum housing and a hardened 4mm steel shaft, the motor is constructed to withstand the vibrational stresses inherent in fixed-wing operation. The integrated 684ZZ bearings ensure smooth rotation and long-term durability, supporting consistent performance across a wide range of throttle inputs and flight maneuvers.

Key Features

  • High-torque 980KV outrunner design optimized for fixed-wing and long-range multirotor applications.
  • Engineered for 3S-4S LiPo operation, delivering up to 455W of peak power.
  • Robust mechanical build with a 28.8mm diameter and 50mm length for secure installation.
  • Dual mounting patterns (16mm and 19mm bolt circle) with M3 and M2.5 threads for versatile airframe compatibility.
  • Precision-balanced rotor and stator assembly for minimal vibration and smooth throttle response.
  • High-quality 684ZZ bearings support sustained high-RPM operation with minimal wear.
  • 18AWG silicone wires with 100mm leads provide flexible and durable power connections.
  • 79g weight contributes to an optimized performance-to-weight ratio for efficient flight.

Applications

  • Primary propulsion for fixed-wing sport, aerobatic, and scale model aircraft.
  • Power system for long-range and endurance-focused FPV wing platforms.
  • Heavy-lift multirotor applications requiring high torque at moderate RPM.
  • Aerial photography and mapping drones utilizing larger, slow-flying props.
  • DIY and experimental UAV builds where reliable, efficient outrunner power is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ESC for the Hobbywing 2316SL 980KV motor?

Pair this motor with a 30-40A brushless ESC capable of handling 3S to 4S LiPo input. Ensure the ESC firmware (such as BLHeli_S or BLHeli_32) is configured for outrunner motors and supports the motor's low KV and potential high current draw up to 31A continuous.

What propellers are suitable for the 2316SL 980KV motor on 4S?

On 4S LiPo, this motor is well-suited for larger, slow-fly propellers typically used on fixed-wing aircraft, such as 9x6, 10x5, or 11x4.7 sizes. Always bench-test with a current meter to ensure prop load stays within the motor's 31A continuous current rating to prevent overheating.

What are the mounting dimensions and patterns for this motor?

The motor features two standard bolt circles: a 16mm pattern and a 19mm pattern. It uses M3 mounting screws for the 16mm circle and M2.5 screws for the 19mm circle. The mounting holes are 3mm in diameter, accommodating standard hardware for most fixed-wing motor mounts.

Can this motor be used for quadcopter or multirotor builds?

While designed for fixed-wing applications, its 980KV rating and high torque make it suitable for specific heavy-lift or long-endurance multirotor builds that use large, low-pitch propellers. It is not ideal for high-RPM FPV racing or freestyle quads due to its lower KV and outrunner design.
