Purpose-Built Power System for FPV Drone Soccer
The T-Hobby DYH1408 (3988KV) is a high-performance brushless motor designed specifically for 200mm class FPV Drone Soccer competitions. Tailored for rigs around 300g takeoff weight, the DYH1408 delivers immediate millisecond-level throttle response required for sharp offensive rushes and precise defensive maneuvers.
To withstand continuous high-speed mid-air impacts on the field, the DYH1408 utilizes a dual locking structure featuring a bottom retaining ring and top cover boss. This locks the rotor securely in both axial and radial directions, eliminating rotor detachment or loosening during match collisions.
When paired with a 4S LiPo battery and Gemfan DYH 2828-3 propellers, the DYH1408 outputs up to 600g of thrust and 341W of peak power per motor. Its precision-balanced rotor ($\le 5\text{mg}$) and nickel-plated arc magnets ensure high efficiency and smooth control throughout intense drone soccer matches.
