iFlight XING2 2207 FPV Motor Unibell 1855KV/2755KV
Our XING series NextGen motors have become popular after the initial release in 2018 and became the new standard on the market. Was it the curved shape or the internal damping ring to protect the bearing, or was it the higher quality NSK bearings coupled with a higher grade titanium alloy shaft? We've been copied and compared all these years, but now it's time to set a new standard again! We're finally ready to announce our predecessor the XING2!
The smooth, reliable and powerful XING motors were upgraded and we achieved an even higher standard in our manufactory as well as better performance than ever before. New center slotted N52H curved arc magnets were introduced to drastically reduce response time of the motor! Maybe the biggest bottleneck of our FPV flight controller is the motor due to it's translation delay of it braking and accelerating. XING2 motors offer faster response to translate your PID loop quicker and get that locked-in feeling you were always looking for!
Due to the high quality materials used and the durable joint of bell and shaft, we were able to reduce the magnet air gap and stator lamination to a minimum. The smaller the air gap is, the lower that reluctance and the higher the magnetic flux (which is the magnetic analog of current) causing more efficiency and higher power!
Early 2018 we started to put o-rings on the top of our bearings between motor bell and stator. This acts as an absorber if your bell or shaft has gone through crashing and keeps the bearing gap tight to reduce all those vibrations induced by high rpms! It can also reduce the axial impact force just enough to keep your bearings smooth and quiet. All our experience, high quality 7075 bells, O-ring bearing protection and all the other features you've just seen on your original XING series are still inbuilt in a new shape and design!
I wanted something that was packable and easy to take with. Got tired of needing to pack a large radio, neck straps, and all of the needed padding to just fly my whoops when traveling. This radio is so much easier to throw in a bag and fly with. Coming from a Taranis X9D plus, the pocket is a lot lighter and easier to carry. Gimbals feel good and it’s comfortable when holding. It’s the first small radio I tried that I was able to feel comfortable with. Compared to Zorro and TX12, the Pocket feels a lot more balanced. Highly recommended as a travel or only radio if you want something light and easy to carry.
Some downsides:
1. Arming/disarming takes a bit to get used to since there are not traditional switches.
2. Even though there are 5 position switches for the trims, you can’t use the center press as a switch like Jumper
3. The case is glossy, I wish it was more textured like DJI radios for better grip.
4. The speaker makes a buzzing sound when powered on and sometimes switching things in menus.
Otherwise great radio that’s easy to fly and live with.
I flew drones yrs ago. I dabbled in all types of drones from tiny whoops to 4 inch freestyle/acro quads to cine dji. Good beginner starter bundle. Definitely worth the $.
