Yes, they are 920Kv. Why would lower Kv motors be better?

Lower Kv motors give more torque, which is better for bigger, slower-spinning propellers.

Who said anything about going slow? We’re going light speed!
Looks like you’ve got a vintage drone here. Nobody remembers how to get these flying anymore.
Welcome to drone building! Most drones need motors, ESCs, a battery, a control receiver, a video transmitter, GPS, a flight controller, and optional extras like cameras or sensors. Make sure all your parts are compatible.
If you’re adding a thermal camera later, check the payload capacity of your drone. Digital video systems give a clearer image than analog, but analog works fine and is cheaper. Have you got a link to the kit you’re working with?

I got it for free on Facebook Marketplace. Here’s what I found online: KIT-HGDRONEK66: NXP drone kit | NXP Semiconductors.

That’s a solid find! Building your own drone is a great way to learn. Enjoy working on it, and don’t hesitate to ask questions along the way.
Wow, that’s a piece of history. Great advice here—ask questions as you go, and good luck getting it flying!
What’s the kit or model, and where did you find it?
