EMAX E3 1303

The EMAX E3 1303 is an ultra-lightweight micro brushless motor engineered for 2"–3.5" FPV drones, toothpick frames and whoop platforms. A 9N12P architecture, N52SH arc magnets, NSK precision bearings and a 7075 aluminum anodized structure deliver a compact 6.6g power system across 5000KV, 8000KV and 11000KV options for builds spanning 1S through 4S.

Three KV options. One 1303 platform. 5000KV for higher-voltage efficiency and larger micro props. 8000KV for aggressive 2S–3S toothpick and micro-FPV setups. 11000KV for high-RPM 1S–2S whoop and ultra-light builds.

Built for sustained micro-FPV performance. The E3 1303 combines a rigid lightweight structure, high-temperature magnetic materials and a compact high-RPM power system intended to maintain responsive output under demanding flight loads.

01 / KV Selection

Match the motor to the build.

The E3 1303 platform covers a wide micro-FPV operating envelope. Peak-current and maximum-power ratings below come from the supplied EMAX specification data; tested thrust figures are the highest values observed in the supplied bench-test sheets.

Use case is a starting point, not a hard limit. Higher KV, larger propellers and higher voltage all increase motor load. Final motor, propeller, ESC and battery selection should be validated against the bench data and the thermal conditions of the complete aircraft.

02 / Performance Envelope

Tested thrust across the voltage range.

Each bar shows the highest measured maximum-throttle thrust among the tested propellers at that supply voltage. Bars share a 306g scale so the three KV ranges can be compared visually.

Bench data is configuration-dependent. Propeller, battery condition, ESC, ambient conditions and test method can change current, thrust, efficiency and RPM.

03 / Construction

Built around precision, not excess weight.

01 / SHAFT

Rugged Steel Shaft

Steel shaft construction is designed to resist bending and help reduce vibration after hard impacts.

02 / HOUSING

7075 Anodized Aluminum

A rigid lightweight housing helps resist impact deformation while keeping total motor weight to 6.6g with wire.

03 / ROTOR

One-Piece Outer Rotor

The integrated outer-rotor structure secures the magnetic assembly for consistent high-RPM operation.

04 / MAGNETS

N52SH Arc Magnets

High-temperature N52SH arc magnets help retain magnetic strength when the motor is working under load.

05 / WINDING

Single-Strand Winding

Single-strand winding is used to control internal resistance and heat in the compact 3mm stator package.

06 / BEARING

NSK Precision Bearing

Precision bearing hardware supports smooth high-speed operation while reducing unwanted vibration and noise.

E3 Series Platform

Performance-focused engineering without unnecessary complexity.

The E3 Series is designed around practical materials, manufacturing efficiency and durability for FPV pilots who need repeatable power without moving into an oversized motor platform.

High output, compact mass.

At 6.6g with wire, the 1303 platform targets toothpick, whoop and micro-FPV aircraft where motor mass directly affects handling.

Designed for real flight loads.

Multiple KV choices, published load data and high-temperature magnetic materials make it easier to select a power system around the actual aircraft.

05 / Electrical Specifications
