The Hobbywing M13842-HP-38KV is a high-protection heavy-lift UAV motor designed for ultra-heavy-duty multirotor drones. Built for industrial applications, it delivers massive thrust, high torque, and reliable performance for demanding professional missions.
With its HighProt structure, IPX5 protection rating, and robust mechanical design, the M13842-HP-38KV is engineered for large UAV platforms requiring durability, efficiency, and strong lifting capability.
Ultra Heavy-Lift Performance
The M13842-HP-38KV delivers up to 108 kg of maximum thrust.
This makes it suitable for ultra-heavy-lift multirotor UAVs, including large industrial drones, logistics platforms, firefighting UAVs, and special mission aircraft.
When used on quadrotor platforms, the motor is suitable for drones with a takeoff weight of approximately 140–160 kg.
High-Torque Industrial Design
The M13842-HP is designed as a heavy-duty, high-torque motor for large multirotor drones.
Its 38 KV configuration provides strong torque output and stable performance when used with large carbon fiber propellers.
This makes it ideal for applications requiring high lift capacity, stable power delivery, and long-term reliability.
Reliable HighProt Structure
The HighProt design improves protection against dust, water exposure, and harsh field conditions.
With an IPX5 protection rating, waterproof bearings, and anti-rust treated components, the motor is built for demanding industrial environments.
The structural design is validated for long operating life, helping improve flight safety and reliability.
Premium Materials
The motor uses high-standard silicon steel sheets with rust-proof treatment and 180°C high-temperature resistant coating.
It also features high-grade magnets, waterproof bearings, and enamelled wire rated up to 200°C.
These materials help improve durability, thermal resistance, and long-term performance under heavy load.
Optimized Cooling & Stability
The M13842-HP features a centrifugal air-cooling structure to support stable operation under high-power loads.
This helps improve heat dissipation, reduce thermal stress, and maintain reliable performance during demanding flights.
The motor is dynamically balanced to ensure smoother operation and reduced vibration.
