Change this to “will burn”.
The torque generally depends on current and voltage and motor radius (I’m lying here but just go with me) so the motor itself doesn’t really mater. Just find a small gimbal motor. You will not gain anything from going the other route, and actually lose torque because these drone motors are designed to develop maximum torque at high RPM. Please read up on motor physics.
If you really, really want to go that route and your form factor is that important, you need a pancake motor with KV under 50.
Or even better, get the motor, open it, rip the existing wires, and re-wind yourself with low KV thin copper wire.
Or, as many people have found out, the king’s road solution is to get a geared sensored gimbal. Massive torque/power and extreme precision positioning running SimpleFOC with very low curent.
