5-inch FPV freestyle motor
Axisflying AE2505
Axisflying's cost-effective AE-series 2505 for 5-inch freestyle on 6S: 37.2 g, in 1750KV for smooth flying or 2050KV for sbang, with up to 1421.71 g at full throttle on a 51466 V2 (2050KV).
- 5-inch freestyle, flow (1750KV) or sbang (2050KV)
- 6S
- 51466, 51366, HQ 6×3×3 and HQ MCK props
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2505 motor drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Axisflying’s bench figures for the HQ 6*3*3 prop at 23.97 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% throttle.

What it pulls
Axisflying’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the HQ 6*3*3: 619 g of thrust, 11.5 A, 274 W, 2.28 g per watt.
On your quad
7.6 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 4,972 g with the HQ 6*3*3 at 23.97 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 2,476 g, 3.8 times the quad’s weight.
All-up weight is the quad ready to fly, with its battery and camera. The thrust is the maker’s static bench figure; in the air it is lower.
What you get for $19.90
Two KVs, two styles
Axisflying pitches the 1750KV for smooth, cinematic flow flying and the 2050KV for aggressive sbang flying.

Larger stator
Axisflying says the 25 × 5 mm stator gives more torque, and that the magnetic design holds off desyncs at low rpm.

Bench data
Redrawn from Axisflying’s test reports. Thrust is static pull on a bench, more than you get in flight. Power is volts × amps; efficiency is thrust divided by power.

Inside the motor
A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:
- Bell. Gunmetal anodised, with forked spokes on the top and polished cut edges. (Axisflying product photo)
- Shaft. 5 mm with an M5 thread, 10 mm of it threaded. (Axisflying drawing and specs)
- Stator. 25 × 5 mm, 12 slots, with 14 magnet poles in the bell. (Axisflying product page)
- Leads. 20 AWG silicone wire, 155 mm. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying drawing and specs)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1750KV version reaches about these speeds; a prop loads the motor and brings it down, typically to around 70–75% of these figures at full throttle.
| Battery | Volts | No-load rpm (KV × V) | Electrical frequency | ESC steps per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4S nominal | 14.8 | 25,900 | 3,022 Hz | 18,130 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 29,400 | 3,430 Hz | 20,580 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 38,850 | 4,533 Hz | 27,195 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 44,100 | 5,145 Hz | 30,870 |
A 14-pole rotor has 7 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 7 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 42 times per turn.
About the 3D model
A generic outrunner drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes: the 25 × 5 mm stator, 30.5 mm bell, 18 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything Axisflying doesn’t publish is typical for a motor this size, and the bell’s spoked top, the base and the inside are a generic design, not this motor’s. The colours are read off the maker’s product photos. There are no logos or markings: it is our drawing, not the maker’s.
