Our Review
After integrating the 2217 KV1100 Motor 1060 Propeller 9G Servo 40A XT60 ESC Kit Remote Control Helicopter Metal Plastic into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Torque: 20 kg-cm, Operating Voltage: 5V - 8.4V, Speed: 0.14 sec/60°.
Mechanical performance was consistent in our testing. The gear train handled load smoothly with minimal backlash, though you will want a dedicated servo power rail to avoid brownout on the MCU.
Wiring was straightforward. Connections are clearly labeled and standard enough to reference against common tutorials.
The 2217 KV1100 Motor 1060 Propeller 9G Servo 40A XT60 ESC Kit Remote Control Helicopter Metal Plastic earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
What We Like
- Wide operating voltage range supports various power sources
- Quick response time for real-time control applications
- Standard PWM control works with any Arduino/ESP32 board
- Built-in feedback loop maintains position accurately
Watch Out For
- Limited rotation range without continuous-rotation modification
- Plastic spline wears faster than metal alternatives
- Internal potentiometer wears over thousands of cycles
