BetaFPV LAVA Series 1102 – 14000KV brushless motor with 22 mm wires

BetaFPV LAVA Series 1102 Brushless Motor 14000KV is designed for small 2S FPV drones and is suitable for replacing a Pavo Pico II motor or building a compatible drone. This variant, identified by product code 01050022_1, has 22 mm wires and is sold individually. The 22 mm designation refers to wire length rather than motor diameter.

14000KV and 2S power

Motor speed constant is 14000KV, and the specified power configuration is 2S. BETAFPV lists a maximum power of 84.1 W and a maximum current of 10.51 A. These ratings help with selecting a suitable electronic speed controller and power system; component compatibility should be assessed together with the chosen propeller.

LAVA construction uses an optimised magnetic circuit and an improved winding fill factor. These features are intended to improve motor efficiency and performance in compact whoops. Actual thrust and energy consumption depend on propeller selection and drone configuration.

22 mm wires and 3.4 g weight

This variant weighs 3.4 ± 0.1 g. It is fitted with 22 mm long 28 AWG wires and a JST1.25-3Pin connector. Before installation, check that the wires reach the motor socket and that the connection matches your flight controller or electronic speed controller.

Shaft and propeller mounting options

Shaft diameter is 1.5 mm, and shaft length is 5 mm. The motor also has four M2 propeller mounting holes equally spaced on a 5 mm diameter circle. BETAFPV specifies this pattern as 4 × M2 EQS ø5. Propeller selection requires checking shaft bore and mounting compatibility, as well as clearance within the frame.

Motor-to-frame mounting uses three M1.4 screw holes equally spaced on a 6.6 mm diameter circle, designated 3 × M1.4 EQS ø6.6. Motor and propeller mounting patterns differ and should be checked separately when choosing parts.

Use with Pavo Pico II and Pavo Femto configurations

BETAFPV lists LAVA 1102 14000KV among recommended components for Pavo Pico II and uses GF 45 mm three-blade propellers on that drone. The motor product page also identifies Pavo Femto as an intended application and recommends Gemfan 1611 and Gemfan 1608 three-blade propellers with a 1.5 mm shaft bore. Choose propellers to suit the specific frame and configuration.

Recommended electronics include an F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC, while listed batteries are LAVA 2S 450 mAh and 550 mAh models. The controller’s wider input voltage range does not change the motor’s own 2S power requirement.

One motor with mounting screws

The package contains one LAVA Series 1102 14000KV motor, four M1.4 × 3 Phillips screws and four M1.4 × 4 Phillips screws. Individual packaging suits replacement of a single motor; a complete quadcopter build requires four motors. Propeller, frame, electronics and battery are not included.
