The A2212 930KV BLDC Motor + 30A ESC + 1045 Propeller Set is a popular entry-level propulsion kit designed for quadcopters, drones, and robotics research. This kit includes 2 high-efficiency brushless DC motors (A2212 930KV), paired with 2 electronic speed controllers (ESCs, 30A rated), and 1045 propellers (10x4.5 inch, CW/CCW), providing a complete drive solution for UAV and robotics projects.
The A2212 motor is widely used in small to medium multirotors due to its reliable thrust-to-weight ratio, efficiency, and ease of integration with ESCs and LiPo batteries. When combined with 30A ESCs and balanced 1045 propellers, the kit provides a stable and efficient propulsion system suitable for research in UAV dynamics, autonomous flight, and robotic aerial platforms.
