Technical Performance
The RadioLink 8520 Brushed Motors are engineered specifically for micro quadcopter applications, delivering the precise performance characteristics needed for stable flight and responsive control. The 8520 form factor has become the industry standard for brushed motors in this category, offering an optimal balance between weight, power output and reliability. These brushed motors utilise traditional brush-based commutation technology, which provides smooth, consistent torque delivery across the flight envelope and ensures stable hovering performance. The compact size and lightweight construction of each motor minimises the overall mass of your quadcopter whilst maintaining the power necessary for reliable flight control and manoeuvring. When properly installed and matched with compatible electronic speed controllers (ESCs), the 8520 brushed motor design delivers the responsiveness required for recreational flying and light competitive applications. The engineering focus on reliability means these motors can withstand the demands of regular flight operations, including forward flight, hovering, rapid acceleration and agile directional changes typical of quadcopter flying. The construction quality typical of RadioLink components ensures long service life, making these replacement motors a cost-effective way to extend the operational lifespan of your F110S or compatible quadcopter platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these motors suitable for the RadioLink F110S quadcopter? — Yes, these motors are genuine RadioLink components specifically referenced and designed for the F110S platform. They serve as direct replacement motors and are the correct specification for this quadcopter model, though you should verify sizing and connectors during installation to ensure compatibility with your specific airframe.
- What size are the RadioLink 8520 motors? — The 8520 designation refers to the motor dimensions of approximately 8.5mm in diameter by 20mm in height. This is the standard micro quadcopter brushed motor size and is widely recognised across the industry as the specification for small-scale quadcopter applications.
- Can I use these motors on other quadcopters? — The 8520 size brushed motors are suitable as direct spares where 8520-sized brushed motors are required on compatible platforms. However, you should verify that the motor size, connector type and voltage specifications match your quadcopter model before installation to ensure proper compatibility.
- Why do I need replacement motors? — Brushed motor components experience gradual wear during normal flight operations. Over time, the brushes wear down and motor performance may decrease. Having replacement motors on hand allows you to quickly refresh your quadcopter and maintain optimal flight performance, or to keep your model airworthy during extended flying sessions by rotating between motor sets.
- Is this a genuine RadioLink product? — Yes, these motors are authentic RadioLink components identified by the genuine part number RLKA001016. Purchasing genuine parts ensures you receive components engineered to the exact specifications of your quadcopter platform and provides the performance and reliability you expect from the RadioLink brand.
- What battery does my quadcopter need with these motors? — Battery requirements are determined by your complete F110S quadcopter platform rather than the motors alone. You should refer to your quadcopter's user manual or product specification for the correct battery type, voltage and capacity. These motors are designed to work with whatever battery system your F110S platform specifies.
- Are these motors brushless or brushed? — These are brushed motors, which means they use traditional brush-based commutation rather than the electronic commutation of brushless motors. Brushed motors offer excellent torque delivery and smooth performance for micro quadcopter applications and are the correct specification for the F110S platform.
