I'm building a drone and need to decide on motors, but I don't know what I need to pay attention to, like voltage, torque, etc.

There are some things to decide before you can choose the motor: race or cinematographic (a race drone needs a higher KV than a cinematographic one) the propeller (look also to the KV, this needs to be the same as the motor) the ESC (the electronic speed controller is also connected to a class of …

You might want to consider the AUW (all up weight) of the vehicle and the appropriate thrust to mass ratio you think you'll need for whatever you are getting up to. The desired maximum flight time is also a factor not to be overlooked. a7
