EMAX ECO II 2306

What you get for $12.99

• About 2 kg of pull on 6S

  On EMAX’s 25.2 V bench the 1900KV pulled 1,990 g at full throttle on a DALPROP Cyclone 5050, drawing 45.8 A.

• N52SH arc magnets

  Curved N52SH magnets. EMAX says the step up from N48 magnets gives more torque and thrust and higher rpm.

• Rounded, polished bell

  EMAX redesigned the bell with a rounder shape and thicker reinforcements for durability, and finished it with a mirror polish.

• EZO bearings

  EZO 9 mm bearings carry a steel shaft with an M5 thread.

What to pair it with

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

ESC

EMAX rates the peak current at 46 A for the 1900KV and 36 A for the 1700KV on 6S, and 44 A for the 2400KV on 4S. Its own bench tests topped out at 45.8 A (1900KV, Cyclone 5050). A 50 A or bigger ESC covers all three. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 1900KV thrust tables)

Props

EMAX lists 5 to 5.5-inch props. On its 6S bench the 1900KV pulled 1,780–1,990 g at full throttle on six props, most on the DALPROP Cyclone 5050; the 1700KV pulled most on the HQ 5.5 × 4 × 3 (1,850 g). (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX 1700KV thrust tables, EMAX 1900KV thrust tables)

Battery

6S for the 1700KV and 1900KV, 4S for the 2400KV. EMAX rates the first two for 3S–6S and the 2400KV for 3S–4S. (EMAX spec sheet)

Frame

Four M3 holes on a 16 mm circle (16 × 16 mm, which EMAX says fits the most common 5-inch frames). M3 screws in 6, 7 and 8 mm lengths and an M5 nylock nut come in the box. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX USA product page, EMAX product page)

Bench data

Redrawn from EMAX’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:

• Shaft. Steel, M5 thread, protrudes 13 mm; 4 mm through the bearings. (EMAX spec sheet, EMAX product page)
• Bell. Rounded, with thicker reinforcements; mirror-polished. (EMAX USA product page)
• Magnets. N52SH arc magnets (EMAX’s infographic says N52, replacing the N48 magnets of its predecessor). (EMAX USA product page)
• Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 23 × 6 mm (2306). (EMAX USA product page)
• Winding. Multi-strand. (EMAX product page)
• Bearings. EZO 9 mm. (EMAX USA product page)
• Base. 4 × M3 holes on a 16 mm circle (16 × 16 mm). (EMAX spec sheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1900KV 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 EMAX’s published sizes: the 23 × 6 mm stator, 28 mm bell, 18.6 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything EMAX 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.
