Chris Rosser's new AOS Supernova 2207 motors.
Chris used a scientific approach, testing over 50 FPV motors and noticing significant variations in their performance. To address this, he adapted a tool from MIT University to simulate electric car motors for FPV drones. After calibrating the tool with the 50 motors, Chris ran an extensive 20,000 tests to find the most optimal design, resulting in the development of the AOS Supernova 2207 motor, which outperformed others in terms of thrust, torque, and efficiency.
So, what sets these motors apart? Unlike most motors that use thinner flux rings and thicker magnets, Chris found that using a thicker flux ring and thinner magnets actually produced better results. Additionally, he incorporated a hollow stator to reduce weight and improve heat dissipation. These innovative design choices have resulted in scientifically superior performance for the Supernova motors compared to normal FPV motors.
To determine if these motors fly better than normal ones, we need to look at their specifications. The measurements suggest that they are closer to a 2308 motor in terms of size, which could contribute to their enhanced performance. Moreover, the higher KV (1980) of the Supernovas means more power and faster spinning. However, other motors with higher KVs are also available, so this alone doesn't make them unique.
While bench testing and technical analysis demonstrate that the Supernovas are superior, the question remains: can the average pilot actually perceive the difference? Cognitive biases, such as selection bias, information bias, and anchoring bias, can influence our perception. Despite initial skepticism, many pilots trust the science and engineering behind these motors, firmly believing that they improve their quad's flight performance.
According to Chris Rosser, the Supernovas offer 18% more thrust, 4.6% more efficiency, and 33% more torque compared to an average 2207 motor. However, it is important to note that these figures may vary based on individual perspectives and interpretations of the data. At $29, these motors are not cheap, and it is unlikely that most pilots would notice a significant difference in their flying experience. That said, for those seeking the pinnacle of performance, the science and engineering behind the AOS Supernova motors may be worth considering.
Even when comparing the AOS Supernovas to the more affordable T-Motor Velox V3, which costs $15 and offers 1950KV variants, the average pilot will likely have a similar real-world flight experience. Choosing the T-Motor will save you $60, which can be quite significant.
However, it is essential to understand that purchasing new motors alone will not necessarily improve your flight performance if your build is not clean and well-designed.

There are somethings, which I didn't get into in this video. My measurements indicate they're closer to a 2308 than a 2207. But Chris already told us they're not 2207 but "2207 Class". Chris states they are quantifiably better performing in terms of thrust, torque and efficiency than the average of the 2207 motors he's tested. But 2308 is a bigger stator and produces more power than a 2207. Therefore, of course they will be higher performing, that's how engineering works. Before I get into this, you may think, well isn't Chris one of the "Good Guys". Chris was contributor in the community who was recovering some of the cost by his frame and some products. We could all get behind and support that. However, Chris has/is moved/moving away from "I'm just helping out the community and being reimbursed for the efforts" to a full on commercial business in FPV. So he's due the same scrutiny that we'd give any other company. Here are the several issues with these motors: 1. Science & engineering is supposed to be able to discern truth and define fact. Having a motors that are closer to 2308, but calling them "2207" and using the term "2207 class" is disingenuous. 2. Chris has built his authority in FPV based upon applying an engineering approach to define truth and fact from his testing. This profile was based upon a companies sending him their motors to test for marketing purposes (and yes he's bought some himself). To then use the motors provided by companies to create a competing product doesn't exactly exemplify integrity. If the companies who produced the motors were also in the UK or even in the USA, it sounds like Chris would have a lawsuit on his hands. 3. Chris states his motors perform quantifiably better than the average 2207 motor. I don't have any issues with taking the average as a benchmark for marketing reasons, that's acceptable. But, with the stators being closer to a 2308, Chris calling them a 2207, then comparing them to 2207 motors doesn't show whether they genuinely perform better because of the engineering he's put into them, or if it's simply because you have more stator volume on a 2308 than a 2207. 4. Why didn't he just call them 2308's and use his platform and science to say that the best motor size for 5" Freestyle is a 2308? I actually wish he did, even if they are a few points of a mm smaller than 2308, representing them in their true size would have been better. But calling them 2308's and saying this is why its the right size, opens him up to competition. You can't charge $29 for a motor that's performance is derived from its stator size and its marginal improvements over the competition are because of its engineering. Everyone would make 2308's and Chris's competitive advantage is suddenly gone. As I said in my video my measurements shouldn't be taken as 100% accurate, but if you give the manufacturer the courtesy of not having to be accurate, and allowing them to be misleading in their product - well, same applies here.

The weight is about the same as a 2207 motor so in my opinion it's fair to compare them, but the naming is wrong

@korbendallas2604 7 месяцев назад

I don't understand your point... All he has said is: By using engineering, better quality materials, and better design, I have produced a new motor. By using "the scientific method," I've obtained data that shows that this motor is indeed superior to the batch i tested. This is the data i gathered, read it and draw your own conclusion. Why would someone be biased by reading and observing a scientific proven experiment? That's not how bias works. Otherwise, we would all be biased in believing that air contains oxygen... Biased is having a prejudice which could be induce for exhample by common beliefs, hear say or opinions.. The whole point of science and to use the scientific method is to eliminate bias from the equation and let the data speak. You are right, a better motor won't makeyou a better pilot as me driving an f1 car won't make me winning a grand Prix. Better equipment will directly affect personal performances if used appropriately to one own skill level.

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

There are several cognitive bias which prejudice us - and bias and prejudice isn’t about another person. Confirmation Bias: People tend to favor information that confirms their beliefs - you have “data” that says they’re better therefore you think you feel their better performance when you don’t. Authority Bias: People tend to believe or obey authority figures without questioning them. - because there is “scientific data” to prove they are better performing against a non-comparable example, it gives these motors the authority they are actually better, when a premium T-Motor that’s 2308 1980kv would perform similarly on the bench and in the real world experience. Hall Effect. You place importance on the scientific data as opposed to how they actually perform in the real world against a realistically comparable example - therefore you think they’re always better.

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

But the problem is, Chris is calling them a 2207 and saying this data proves they perform better than other 2207’s But they’re not 2207’s the stator size is 2308, which is 20% larger in volume than a 2207 - so of course the data will prove they perform better, they’re a bigger motor. Say they’re a 2308, but they’re the same weight as a 2207 so you get all the benefit of the additional stator volume of a 2308 without the weight penalty It’s not that hard.

@phiveone 4 месяца назад

@@DarrenAllatt To be fair Chris has stated publicly that he calls them 2207 as to not alienate pilots that are accustomed to seeing that size. It is just the size his motors are similar to. For myself I can't imagine putting $30 in a motor and would rather put the money somewhere else in the quad. Equipment is really good all around these days, including motors.

@HansBaier 7 месяцев назад

One sure way to test is to see what hover times/flight times you get of those vs other best in class motors. You should be get more minutes of flight time with these as they are more efficient. In terms of feeling they probably won't feel much different than other motors with similar measurements and KV.

@RubyS.1 7 месяцев назад

I didnt know all the stuff behind the motors just bought 1 for a wing because it was nice looking and i wanted a bit more kv. I can tell you its a little heavier than 2207 i had on it and it didnt burn up running 70-100% throttle all day with a 6x5 apc prop on 6s which will kill an emax eco motor in 1 pack. Rcinpower makes excellent motors. Reading the comments the whole 2207 class thing kinda sucks they do that with plane motors some call out the stator and some the can size.

@jayaneyon9316 6 месяцев назад

@kennykobi 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for making this content. I 100% agree. For instance on the computer his 3.5 evo is perfect but the stack holes run into another. So at the 25mm hole is the same for middle, then middle into front. So your vtx is 25wide how can you use the middle stack unless you choose 20x20. Why not just say it's 20x20 mounting. even if you wanted to turn the board the standoff is now at that point a problem. Same with the front they run into the middle/ camera plates are same height as the vista. He definitely tried to combine the iflight 2208 and Mr Steele 2307 in my opinion. Although the whole motor scene in a sham. Johnny Fpv and lumenier have been doing it for years. His frame was 03 ready before it was released, the cnc front plates he chose were vitsa/air unit ready.They have unique motor sizes and kv.( Now everyone wants a 4s motor on a 6s quad.) Here me out . ... Everything that was over 2100kv or over in the 2306 or 2207 class was 6s( last year!.) Now it's the standard to be in this range. Also a year ago ... I was told it will spin the motor to fast and be inefficient because it would cause over oscillations 6s on 4s in general ... otherwise the motor will get hot "It's probably because the C rating before wasn't able to achieve the whole power band" or there working together. I've honestly been running for 6S motors on 4S for 2 years now because my iflight came unmarked all black... but the ripped and I continued using 6s. thus my question. So it's been a let's make everything lighter market. Because power is torque isn't it? It depends. At this point it comes down to weight. Because the same high end power isn't going to have torque for a dive on 800grams. everything have been pushed to become lighter so you don't need a lower KV with as much torque to pull out of dives. This is all skeptical . I've tried so many motors it's not even funny. not bench test! How does a bench test show thrust with weight differential. For him to say that Mr steele are not one of best is kind of absurd. So for chirs to charge $3 more for a motor with the least amount of material in any other motor besides flux that's eventually disapates. He clearly knows he has the right amount of followers to send us all to the bank. his cnc madness clan alone. Mr steele motors aren't all the unique either. Johnny Fpv 5. Years ago 2306.8 in (1750 6s )2250( 5s 2550) (4s 2550) is apparently enough to change battery. I myself was giving the knew fad 2000kv room of margine until I read those specs. 28 grams also. So it seems ust call a 4s motor a 6s because no one is buying 4s motors any longer. Mr Steele said so in his interview so his v5 isn't 4s.. also So I can add the Stout bell to a silk stator and gives you 10%? Fair but is it the magnet or the kv? 10% is enough to go from 4s to 6s or magnets rather. So every 6s motor that uses nsb is 4s? it's just a better bearing. Go from nsb #2 bearing and or magnet made in the world to nsk #1 performing 10% better makes since. Also botgrinders 2207 have higher ohms peak current and everything else at 2207 over Chris motor or basically every motor in that class except. Axis flying making a 2406 making 1000 grams of thrust is technically also a 6in motor but it's hot man.

They are very nice both, just touching the bell, feeling the bearing and the cogging does not really justify the F60 Pro 5 being nearly double the price. And just before I forget to mention.

AOS Super Nover $55 AUD weighs 32 grams and has 1980 grams of thrust. The second best 2207 Chris ever tested is the RCnPower MajorWasp Green $35 AUD weighing 30grams with 1800 grams of thrust. This shows that the AOS Super Novers are expensive and perform the best. I couldn’t find a “premium” priced 2307 easily. Personally I’d rather the cheaper 2307’s and get twice as many

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

As I said I don’t doubt for a minute that they have the best performance on the bench - what I seriously doubt is that any pilot will genuinely be able to tell if they had a comparable motor in stator size and kv, like the Helios. anyone who thinks they can doesn’t understand that it’s just cognitive bias telling them that because it’s the better motor they feel it performs better.

So I assume they would be even heavier if they were 2308.

I feel like you need to prove that the performance gained by "mis-sizing" the motor in theory is equal or at least very close to the performance gained by Chris's design in order to really stand on this hill about incorrect motor sizing. I never once assumed that the measurements for any motor were exactly accurate down to a tenth to begin with honestly; seems people have commented other motors that aren't their exact labeled size either. I'm not interested in making a hundred different motor sizes for each tenth mm and i doubt anyone else is either. The hush hush thing is a bit weird granted, especially given the internet is immediately going to not do that.

@@harleyqueen1337 I’m going to answer this in two parts here, because you are missing something hugely important in your line of questioning. First, 2500kv motors are not designed t o run on 6S, they’re designed for 4S. If you were to run them on 6S, they would draw too much current, causing your ESC to blow and most likely catch fire. Your motors would also get too hot from the current overload and blow as well, probably also catching fire. Now that’s the pragmatic answer to your question- here is the second part, which is the important thing you are missing. “Speed” means absolutely nothing in racing if you can’t control your drone. The best racers can use 6S motors with 3S batteries (so they produce half the power) and be quicker around a race track than most pilots. The point is, speed in racing comes from skill and being able to control your quad to get it around the track as fast as possible. There is no point doing 200km/h with a drone, if to get it around a track you need an extra 30 meters for every turn to control the drone at that speed, where going 100km/h but being really tight around corners will get you around a track 4x faster.

Chris also said that most of the other motor manufacturers are for instance saying there motor is 1700 kv and after testing them they are not 1700 kv as advertised. He says his motor is the kv that is advertised. That in itself will have a big variance on comparing one motor against his motor. For me I would like to try these new motors and turn down the power a lil because I like 1750 kv power and see how long they will last. They look like they have a good design for long life. Not just power.

Another thing to consider is that the materials to make FPV motors are damaging to the environment, particularly the magnets. If we accept this premise, then it is better to buy better quality motors than lots of crap motors, and it is better to buy motors with smaller magnets than big ones, especially if they perform better. Chris never said they are a 2207 motor, and stator size is not the only thing that makes this motor better.

The thinner any magnet is, the lower on it's operating curve it is working at, and the faster it will LOSE both short term and permanent magnetic strength in the presence of both externally applied magnetic fields (the motor windings themselves), and higher temperatures. This is a primary reason why manufacturers keep magnets at least reasonable thick. The magnets you showed here early on are WAY too thin.. The thinner they are, the less flux you get from them as well. The recommended temperature range stated be manufacturers ASSUME a certain minimal "Operating Point" of the magnetic material, and these magnets are WELL BELOW any normal operating point. Also, there is a critical mistake made in this video when discussing a motor's "KV" rating (RPM per volt). It is stated that the higher the KV of the motor, the more powerful it is. No. Just as when discussing car engines, you need to talk about both RPM an Torque at the same time. Electric Motor manufacturers SHOULD provide you with a power curve- showing just what the motor can do in both RPM and torque. Other IMPORTANT factors are 1) True Electrical Power IN to Mechanical power OUT vs. RPM (this is a non-trivial subject). 2) Performance over time at Maximum Power- how does the power fade over a handful of minutes or hours? Anyhow, most of you have no access to laboratory grade measuring equipment, so just do THIS instead- easy way to compare motors- always documenting RPM, Current Draw (AMPS), and battery voltage....A) With a fresh battery, see what RPM's you get at full throttle. B) Pick a speed you like to fly at, and do your best to fly a big oval at that speed over an entire battery cycle. C) As soon as your drone lands be ready with another FULLY charged battery and see what RPM's you get from the now warm motor. D) Study your data after the run, and do your best to get AVERAGE RPM, and CURRENT DRAW that allowed you to fly at that speed you like to fly at. E) Repeat for any/every motor you want to study. Lastly, after you have let the motors cool down again, see if you still get the same RPM with a new battery they gave you before. Again, there are two types of Temp Losses in Magnetics- temporary ones, that bounce back when the magnet cools, and permanent ones.. you don't get that back. If the flying part of this seems absurd, that do you best to recreate it "on the bench"- you can still get some useful data that way.....pick an RPM for the motors to run at , and keep them at that RPM.

That statement of 20,000 designs he tested and compared against is complete bollocks, there were already two of the same stator sizes on the market that he went with well before he "came" up and went with it. will not out anyone, but its utter horse shite. hes got some good idea's that others have had for years including myself to save wight that just don't have the funds or the platform to have motors made with similar design ideas with the hollowed out stator laminations and mounts. something I've thought about personally since I got into the hobby 8 years ago to save wight. The thicker/more iron content in the flux ring was a good idea IMO. anytime you have more iron the better a magnet/magnetic field can stick/resist that force. The Stator size is 22.6x7.5mm, when he made the statments about the wasp motor that was my initial guess and 7.5 hight was a given. I've got a set coming to try and I'm sure they will be great motors.

@DarrenAllatt 6 месяцев назад

any of those tests wouldn't actually be able to determine accurately their performance and then I'd be criticised for unscientific test results. The point is, the average pilot wouldn't be able to tell if running any other 2207 in 1980kv.

@BuddsSkyCam 6 месяцев назад

@DarrenAllatt are premium motors for average pilots? I dont think so, they are premium because they do something different or claim to. Why fly a few batteries time it thrn swap motors do roughly the same flights and see. If there is zero difference then you could show it. He is taking 10-20% better in power and flight time over mid grade motors. It should be easy to do flight time and top speed test to give actual information. Wondering if no one should listen to him about tuning because he gets paid for that too....

@DarrenAllatt 6 месяцев назад

The problem is, “average pilots” constantly ask “what’s the best ..[insert here]” so when you have someone who states that science and imperial evidence says these are the best motors, average pilots will buy them because they think they will become better for having “the best thing”. The problem with doing un-scientific tests where it’s back to back user experience, and I have run them in the past with things like DJI vs HD-Zero - everyone gets on your case about how all the variables change the results and then the complaints are that your tests aren’t reliable. So really, it’s pick the sword to fall on: a) I either do unscientific user testing that can’t be legitimately verified as accurate and then cop a tonne of shit for that, especially when there is actual & robust bench testing available b) Give me own user experience and thoughts based upon my “career” or experience as FPV RU-vidr for a few years, combined with as to what is realistic in the real world while to try to answer the actual questions that people want to know - without trying to use unscientific results to compare to scientific results. Either way - you are screwed I’d rather pick the one which I think helps people in the long run. I also have an issue with everyone constantly asking “what’s the best …” when really what’s best is what’s right for you and everyone is different

@BuddsSkyCam 6 месяцев назад

@DarrenAllatt if someone asks what the best you should reply with best for what? Saying well i dont notice much so chris must be making up his claims so dont waste your time paying the same price as other premium motors if you are in the market for premium motors. I guess you are picking the way of hey im not going to give you any info other than i dont notice a different, did zero speed tests or flight time tests, the two things the motors should be better at because people might say im wrong. I dont fly any of his stuff just would like to hear that the motors make no difference with actual real world tests from pilots vs saying nope dont notice it. when tracer and other faster control links came out most say they notice no difference unless they did track tests or some kind of direct comparison then realized there was a benefit. This 10‐20% im sure is in that same way, only noticeable when directly comparing. I could be wrong but without pilots doing directly back to back flights not sure anyone will know.

@DarrenAllatt 6 месяцев назад

and that's what I do - when someone asks "whats the best..." it's always qualified before I give an answer or, if I am giving a "this is best ..." it's qualified as to who it's best for. and no, I didnt say Chris is making up claims - I said I have no doubt that his bench testing is 100% accurate. again, If we want to do speed tests and flight time, they need to be done scientifically and independently. again, back to back tests are still not reliable because of cognitive bias - you know which one is which so you will say you feel Chris's one is more powerful. Bardwell and Stingerswam did a video with a blind test of Radio Packet Rates and found that neither of them could accurately tell the difference.

The simple answer is, the average pilot will not be able to tell the difference if they bought any other 2207 motor in 1980kv. Then, quite simply, it's disappointing that "then science guy" didn't want to publish the actual stator size, or give more data to support his test results. I have no doubt they perform as well as they do on the bench in a perfect world comparison, but its not something the average pilot will notice.

@Ddraig62SPD 6 месяцев назад

@@DarrenAllatt You keep emphasising that the average pilot won't notice any difference (and there's probably some merit in that, particularly for folks with poorly tuned quads) but why are you doing it in relation to Chris Rosser's new motor in particular? You could do this to any new motor from any manufacturer who's promoting their new shiz with secret sauce and other marketing hype. I just don't get your angle in this video. As a consumer I always want to see bench tests (eg. Engineer X) and/or some comparative testing of motors for a specific purpose (eg. 5", 6S shootout from Chris Rosser) before making a purchase. Anything objective from a credible, independent source that helps me get the best bang for the $/£ is good news .... as opposed to manufacturers' hyperbole or paid promos from social media shills. Regarding the secret motor size, I'm sure that Chris his his own reasons (although I agree that it does seem strange) but as long as the weight & bench results are in the same ball-park as the other tested motors (or better) then I won't get bent out of shape about the odd 0.5mm difference ... and your average pilot probably wouldn't notice the difference either ;) Regarding Chris's motor ... it wont be on my radar until it's back in stock in the UK and the same prices as a Xing2 2207 (sub £20) :)

I could do this for any new motor, however they don’t claim “their motor is the best according to science” and then fail to publish the actual details that would back up their claim, they don’t ask to keep those certain details secret either - they don’t use products sent to them for free and for marketing purposes to develop your own competing product from.

@@DarrenAllatt A real test would be for example to put this motors on, fly arround / to a full on hover test, meassure flight time and do the same with one of the other motors. compare it and check if his bench testing gives you real world benefits too. If it is stronger and faster at changing rotation speed, that has to be feelable / visible / meassurable. So if that is true it MUST have feelable / meassurable effects. but for that it might me necessary to reduce filters in the FC. I saw it, but for my feeling it is overall negative based on price and size, not nuanced and dont takes into account that for some situations/flyers the pricyer motors might be worth it. I mean that it is more pricy you already see when you want to buy them, that the size is a bit different you get from him already. So there is no real information benefit dont you think? one other thing bigger stators normaly come with rotation speed change penalty, so if you now have a motor with a bigger stator that has not only NO penalty but is in fact faster, thats a benefit i would think? That does not change the price, and maybe its not the best idea to call it 2207. BUT if its in the weight class of a 2207 AND rotational change of the 2207 or even better, then i dont realy see the problem. I then would call it a 2207 class motor. But it would be realy interesting to compare it in a real world szenario againt 2207 AND 2308 motors. And we dont have to discuss that a bad pilot dont get better by changing the motors.
