5-inch FPV freestyle motor
Axisflying AF227 2207
Axisflying's 2021 AF227, a 2207 it called its sbang motor: 30 g without leads, 4S–6S, and 1866 g at full throttle on a GF 51466 on 6S (1960KV).
- 5-inch freestyle and sbang
- 6S (1960KV, 2010KV) or 4S (2710KV)
- 51466 and similar 5-inch props
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2207 motor drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes, not its exact design. No-load speed is KV × 22.2 V, a nominal pack for this version. Axisflying’s bench tables for it step by thrust rather than throttle, so they are in the bench data below, not on this readout.
- Max thrust
- 1,866 g
- GF 51466 prop, 24.94 V
- Weight
- 30 g
- without leads
- Peak current
- 43.1 A
- full throttle
- Max power
- 937 W

What you get
Tuned for sbang
Axisflying called the AF227 its new sbang motor: smooth, torquey low throttle with an sbang throttle curve, and fine resolution at low throttle.

Shielded bearings
Axisflying's bearing shield houses the bearings to an IP53 rating against dust and water; it says this keeps them smooth for longer.

Washers round the O-ring
A washer sits above and below the O-ring, which Axisflying says adds durability and protection.

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. Grey, with a grey spoked top ringed in red at its edge. (Axisflying product photo)
- Shaft. 5 mm, standing 14 mm above the bell. (Axisflying specs and drawing)
- Bearings. Housed behind Axisflying's IP53 bearing shield, with washers above and below the O-ring. (Axisflying bearing image, Axisflying washer image)
- Stator. 22 × 7 mm, 12 slots, with 14 magnet poles in the bell. (Axisflying specs and drawing)
- Leads. 20 AWG silicone wire, 150 mm. (Axisflying specs and drawing)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1960KV 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 | 29,008 | 3,384 Hz | 20,306 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 32,928 | 3,842 Hz | 23,050 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 43,512 | 5,076 Hz | 30,458 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 49,392 | 5,762 Hz | 34,574 |
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 22 × 7 mm stator, 27 mm bell, 19 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.
