The Hobbywing C8025-160KV-IPC Motor is a professional fixed-wing and VTOL UAV motor designed for cruise propulsion, large electric aircraft, industrial drones, and vertical take-off and landing platforms.
Built for demanding UAV applications, this C8025 160KV motor offers a strong balance between high thrust, efficient cooling, stable performance, and professional reliability. It is especially suitable for UAV platforms looking to replace traditional combustion engine setups with a clean, efficient, and reliable electric propulsion system.
Fixed-Wing & VTOL UAV Propulsion
The C8025-160KV-IPC is designed for both fixed-wing UAVs and VTOL drones, making it a versatile choice for aircraft requiring efficient cruise performance and reliable power delivery.
Its 12S LiPo / 48V compatibility, 160KV rating, and large 80x25 mm stator make it suitable for professional UAV propulsion systems where endurance, thrust, and long-term reliability are essential.
IPC Intelligent Propeller Control
The IPC version is designed for integration with compatible Hobbywing IPC ESC systems.
This allows the propeller stopping position to be controlled when used with the correct ESC setup, helping reduce forward-flight drag and improve safety during landing, storage, and VTOL-to-cruise transition phases.
For fixed-wing and VTOL UAVs, this feature is especially useful when propeller position management is required for aerodynamic efficiency and operational safety.
High Thrust & Efficient Performance
The C8025-160KV motor delivers a maximum thrust of up to 24.8 kg at 48V with a 26x12 propeller, making it suitable for demanding UAV platforms requiring strong propulsion performance.
With a rated thrust of 8.5 kg at 48V with a 26x12 propeller, this motor is optimized for efficient cruise operation while still providing strong power for takeoff, climb, and transition phases.
Efficient Cooling Design
The C8025 motor is engineered with a robust structure designed to support stable thermal behavior during high-load UAV operation.
Its large stator format, waterproof bearings, high-temperature resistant materials, and professional-grade winding design help maintain reliable performance during demanding flight conditions.
Rugged & Reliable Construction
The Hobbywing C8025-160KV-IPC features IPX5 protection, waterproof bearings, a high-standard silicon steel stator, high-temperature resistant enamelled wire, and strong magnetic materials designed for professional UAV use.
Its construction helps protect the motor from harsh operating environments such as humidity, light rain, dust exposure, and intensive outdoor UAV missions.
Professional UAV Applications
The Hobbywing C8025-160KV-IPC Motor is ideal for fixed-wing UAVs, VTOL aircraft, industrial drones, long-range UAVs, electric cruise propulsion systems, and professional unmanned aircraft platforms.
Its combination of 160KV rating, 12S compatibility, IPC function, 24.8 kg maximum thrust, and Hobbywing reliability makes it a strong propulsion solution for demanding professional drone applications.
