The Hobbywing XRotor X6 Plus is a brushless power system purpose-built for agricultural and heavy-payload drones, pairing a high-torque 6218 motor with an integrated FOC ESC for smooth, efficient power delivery. This combo kit bundles the CCW (counter-clockwise) motor with a matching 2480 folding propeller, giving you a drop-in upgrade for spraying, seeding, fertilizing, and mapping drones built on 28mm or 30mm carbon fiber arms. The CCW unit is designed to be paired with its CW counterpart across your frame's diagonal motors, keeping torque balanced and flight stable under load.
Why choose this combo:
Agricultural flying conditions are rough on hardware, so the X6 Plus is sealed to an IPX7 rating, holding up against rain, pesticide overspray, salt mist, dust, mud, and field-grade impacts. Hobbywing's FOC algorithm keeps the motor and ESC working together efficiently across the throttle range, while built-in protections (power-on self-check, abnormal voltage detection, over-current cutoff, and motor lock-up protection) help prevent costly mid-flight failures. The motor also outputs real-time telemetry, so you can monitor performance from your flight controller or ground station.
Performance:
Rated for roughly 11.8–11.9kg of thrust per axis at 46V (sea level), the X6 Plus comfortably handles a recommended takeoff weight of 3.5–5.5kg per axis — enough for a fully loaded spray tank on a quad or hex agri frame. It runs on a 12–14S LiPo pack (12S minimum recommended) and is built around a 150KV/6218 stator for strong low-RPM torque, which is what large-diameter folding props like the 2480 (24-inch diameter, 8.0-inch pitch) need to generate lift efficiently.
Use cases: crop-spraying drones, seeding/granule-spreading drones, fertilizer-spraying UAVs, agricultural field mapping platforms, and any heavy-lift hexacopter or octocopter build needing a rugged, weatherproof power system.
