What you get for $19.90

• Made for 3.5-inch whoops

  Axisflying designed the C224 for 3.5-inch cinewhoops and cinematic quads that carry a GoPro 10 or 11, and pairs it with Gemfan or HQ D90-3 props.

• 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.

• Bench numbers

  On 4S with a D90-3B the 3500KV pulled 938.4 g at 30.71 A at full throttle; on 6S with a GF3630 the 2750KV pulled 1294.38 g at 34 A.

What to pair it with

Our reading of Axisflying’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC

The 3500KV peaked at 30.71 A on 4S on Axisflying's bench, where its page text says about 25 A; the 2750KV reached 34 A on 6S. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying drawing, specs and test data)

Props

Axisflying recommends Gemfan or HQ D90-3 props. It tested the 3500KV and 2300KV on a D90-3B, the 1900KV on a GF D90-3P and the 2750KV on a GF3630. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying drawing, specs and test data)

Battery

4S for the 3500KV, 6S for the 2300KV and 1900KV. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying drawing, specs and test data)

Frame

Four M2 screws on a 12 mm circle; four M2×5 screws come in the box. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying drawing, specs and test data)

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 eight black spokes on the top and red ribs below them. (Axisflying product photo, Axisflying top-view photo)
• Shaft. 5 mm with an M5 thread, standing 13.8 mm above the bell. (Axisflying drawing, specs and test data)
• Bearings. Housed behind Axisflying's IP53 bearing shield. (Axisflying product page)
• Stator. 22 × 4.5 mm, 12 slots, with 14 N52H arc magnets in the bell. (Axisflying product page)
• Leads. 20 AWG silicone wire, 150 mm. (Axisflying product page)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 3500KV 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.

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 × 4.5 mm stator, 26.9 mm bell, 15 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 12 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.
