X8 G2 drone propulsion system builds on the proven reliability of X8, with a comprehensive upgrade in performance and functionality for meeting the evolving needs of UAV applications such as logistics, training, education, and agriculture.
The X8 G2 boasts a rated thrust of 5-7.5kg. It achieves a maximum flight speed of 20m/s (a 40% increase over the X8), extending the drone's flight endurance by approximately 10%* while maintaining the same battery capacity.
(*Based on internal test data from HOBBYWING, comparative calculation of battery capacity consumption over the same flight distance was obtained at forward flight speeds of 12 m/s and 20 m/s on a quadcopter flying at sea level in 34 °C ambient temperature, both no-load and at rated payload. Actual results may vary with different airframe configurations, battery models, and test conditions, for reference only.)
Equipped with the new 3011S folding propellers, the X8 G2 weighs 1095g with propellers, 5% lighter while maintaining the X8's maximum thrust advantage.
Existing X8 users can easily complete the transition with minimal tuning, seamless upgrading to X8 G2, without requiring any structural modification.
Note: Both 3011S and 3011 propellers (including adapters) are compatible with both the X8 and X8 G2 propulsion system and can be directly interchanged for installation (only one combination is allowed on one drone).
Remote controller tuning feature is newly added. Users can adjust the drive parameters, motor rotation direction, LED color, and other settings via the remote controller or DataLink software, optimizing flight performance based on application needs. Additionally, the dedicated OTA function of the DataLink host computer software facilitates efficient multi-ESC firmware upgrades in one drone.
The newly added CAN interface enables real-time data exchange with the flight controller system, allowing users to monitor critical flight parameters (such as speed, throttle, current, voltage, temperature) for rapid data analysis and response, enhancing flight safety.
The dual throttle control solution integrates CAN bus digital signals and PWM analog signals, improving real-time response and anti-interference capabilities to further enhance flight safety.
Note: The system is reserved for customized DShot digital throttle and corresponding protocol compatibility, meeting the demand for FPV adapting to larger drone frame, and enabling rapid building of the drone system.
The X8 G2 comes with a new log feature and supports up to 48 hours of operation data storage. In case of abnormal conditions, users can access the data via the host computer software (DataLink) for fast fault diagnosis and troubleshooting.
