D2826 Brushless 1400KV motor

Name: D2826 Brushless 1400KV motor
SKU: fh-d2826-1400
Availability: InStock

The Flashhobby D2826 Brushless 1400KV combat robotics weapon motor is built to hit hard and keep hitting. Flashhobby’s direct-production model means tight windings, precision-cut stators, and balanced rotors — quality controlled from raw material to finished motor. Rated for 2S–3S LiPo at up to 205W, it’s the rugged, reliable choice for combat robotics weapon systems that can’t afford to quit (note that a 3S is recommended for combat systems).

D2826 Brushless 1400KV Combat Robotics Weapon Motor

If you’re building a combat robotics weapon system, the motor you choose makes or breaks your build. The Flashhobby D2826 Brushless 1400KV combat robotics motor is great for high-impact weapon applications — spinners, drums, and beaters — where reliability under repeated shock loading isn’t optional, it’s survival. A step up from the common D2822, the D2826 provides a 40% increase in Max Current capability and a larger, more rugged motor housing.

Why the D2826?

Flashhobby manufactures the D2826 entirely in-house, controlling every step from winding to final assembly. That means tight, consistent windings, correctly rated magnets, precision-cut stators, and balanced rotors — every unit, every time. At 205W max power on a 3S LiPo, it delivers serious weapon energy in a compact 27.7×26mm can weighing just 50g.

What’s in the Box

The D2826 ships with common mounting hardware. You’ll get the motor, four M3×5 mounting screws, a cross mount, and an adapter. Additional mounting options include the Fingertech blade mount for a direct weapon connection, the Fingertech angled motor mount for ease in mounting the motor to the chassis, and Fingertech pulleys and belts for a belt-drive connection to the motor.

ESCs

Match the D2826 1400KV with a 30A–40A ESC or greater. There are lots of good brushless choices, including the Repeat 35A AM32, and the E-Power’s Aria 35A AM32. If you’re not ready to move off the BLHeli platform, check out E-Power’s Aria BLHeli_32 35A, or Flashhobby’s BLHeli_32 35A or 40A (while supplies last). Each robot is different — make sure you match your ESC to the requirements of your design.

Specs at a Glance

Shaft is 3.17mm diameter × 41mm length with a standard 16×19mm mounting pattern (M3×4 thread). Max current is 18.9A, internal resistance 0.078Ω. Operating temperature range is 0°C–80°C. It’s a tough, no-excuses motor built for the arena.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the D2826 a drop-in replacement for the D2822 in a Fingertech Viper?

Not exactly. The motor convention on this class of brushless motors is xxyy where “xx” is the diameter of the motor in mm, while “yy” is the motor length. So “2822” is a 28mm Diameter x 22mm length motor. Therefore, the “2826” is the same diameter as a 2822, but approximately 4mm more in length. While the mounting pattern is identical (16×19mm, M3×4), the D2826 is actually 4mm longer and 9g heavier than the D2822. It’s important that you check your design carefully for available space and allowable weight before committing to the D2826. Additionally, the higher Max Current means that you should consider a higher amperage ESC for your design; the standard 20A ESC for a 2822 may not be sufficient for a 2826.

Can I use the D2826 as a drive motor?

The D2826 is a brushless outrunner — it’s a high-speed, low-torque motor that’s well suited for weapon systems but not for drive. Combat robot drive motors need high torque at low speeds and typically use brushed gearmotors like the Repeat Brushed, which are purpose-built for combat robotics. The D2826 would be a poor drive motor choice in virtually any combat robot configuration.

What’s the difference between 1000KV and 1400KV?

KV is the motor’s RPM per volt — so at 11.1V (3S), a 1000KV motor spins at roughly 11,100 RPM unloaded, while a 1400KV motor spins at roughly 15,540 RPM. Higher KV means more speed but less torque; lower KV means more torque but less speed. For combat robotics weapons, the right KV depends on your weapon mass, geometry, and desired tip speed. The 1400KV has a higher max current (18.9A vs 13.8A) and max power (205W vs 150W), making it the more aggressive option. Each robot is different — make sure you match your motor selection to the requirements of your design.

What’s the difference between brushed and brushless motors — and why three wires?

Brushed motors use physical carbon brushes to transfer current to the rotating part of the motor, which creates friction and wear over time. Brushless motors eliminate the brushes entirely, using electronic commutation instead — that’s why they need three wires rather than two. Each wire carries current to one of three motor phases, and the ESC sequences them electronically to create rotation. The result is a more efficient, longer-lasting motor with higher power output — which is why brushless motors dominate combat robotics weapon systems. Brushless motors require a brushless-compatible ESC, which is slightly more complex and expensive than a brushed controller.
