The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2406 motor drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Axisflying’s bench figures for the GF 51466 V2 prop at 23.95 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 GF 51466 V2: 709 g of thrust, 16.7 A, 398 W, 1.79 g per watt.
On your quad
8.8 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 5,748 g with the GF 51466 V2 at 23.95 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 2,836 g, 4.4 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.

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. 7075 aluminium, dark grey, with a bronze spoked top cut with red-orange edges. (Axisflying feature image, Axisflying product photo)
- Shaft. 5 mm with an M5 thread, 10 mm of it threaded, standing 13 mm above the bell. (Axisflying drawing and specs)
- Stator. 24 × 6 mm, 12 slots, with 14 magnet poles in the bell. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying drawing and specs)
- Bearings. NMB. (Axisflying feature image)
- Leads. 20 AWG black silicone wire, 150 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 2080KV 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 | 30,784 | 3,591 Hz | 21,549 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 34,944 | 4,077 Hz | 24,461 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 46,176 | 5,387 Hz | 32,323 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 52,416 | 6,115 Hz | 36,691 |
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 24 × 6 mm stator, 29.5 mm bell, 19.4 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.
