The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 1404.5 motor drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Axisflying’s bench figures for the GF D63-5 prop at 16.07 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 D63-5: 239 g of thrust, 7.2 A, 115 W, 2.07 g per watt.
On your quad
2.6 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 1,666 g with the GF D63-5 at 16.07 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 958 g, 1.5 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 $15.90
Made for 2.5-inch whoops
Axisflying designed the C145 for 2.5-inch cinewhoops and tiny trainers that need more power and torque, and pairs it with Gemfan D63-3 and D63-5 props.

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. Black, with a black top cut into eight spokes and a red ring round the bell's top edge. (Axisflying product photo, Axisflying top-view photo)
- Shaft. 1.5 mm, standing 3 mm above the bell; props fix to four M2 holes on a 5 mm circle in the top. (Axisflying spec image (archived))
- Stator. 14 × 4.5 mm, 9 slots, with 12 curved N52H arc magnets in the bell. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying spec image (archived))
- Leads. 22 AWG silicone wire, 150 mm. (Axisflying spec image (archived))
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 4500KV 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 | 66,600 | 6,660 Hz | 39,960 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 75,600 | 7,560 Hz | 45,360 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 99,900 | 9,990 Hz | 59,940 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 113,400 | 11,340 Hz | 68,040 |
A 12-pole rotor has 6 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 6 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 36 times per turn.
About the 3D model
A generic outrunner drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes: the 14 × 4.5 mm stator, 18.1 mm bell, 12.7 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 9 mm mounting circle and 9 teeth and 12 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.
