FlyFish Flash 2306

A 5-inch freestyle motor: 2306 stator in a one-piece 7075 aluminium bell, NMB bearings and N52SH magnets, and 1,698.7 g of pull per motor on FlyFishRC’s 24 V bench (1750KV, HQ S5).

Drawing the 3D model…

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2306 motor drawn from FlyFish’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are FlyFish’s bench figures for the HQ S5 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

What it pulls

FlyFish’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

At 60% with the HQ S5: 794 g of thrust, 14.7 A, 351 W, 2.26 g per watt.

On your quad

10.5 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 6,795 g with the HQ S5 at 24 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 3,174 g, 4.9 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 to pair it with

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

ESC
FlyFishRC gives a 10-second peak of 38.23 A for the 1750KV on 24 V and 47.50 A for the 2550KV on 16 V. A 45 A ESC covers the 1750KV; the 2550KV needs 50 A. (FlyFishRC spec sheet)
Props
5-inch props. On 24 V the 1750KV pulled 1,698.7 g on an HQ S5 and 1,687.4 g on a GF 51466 at full throttle; on 16 V the 2550KV pulled 1,432.7 g and 1,456.5 g on the same two props. (FlyFishRC spec sheet)
Frame
Four M3 holes on a 16 mm circle (16 × 16 mm) and 150 mm 20 AWG leads. (FlyFishRC product page (grey and purple), FlyFishRC spec sheet)

Bench data

Redrawn from FlyFish’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:

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1750KV 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.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.825,9003,022 Hz18,130
4S full16.829,4003,430 Hz20,580
6S nominal22.238,8504,533 Hz27,195
6S full25.244,1005,145 Hz30,870

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 FlyFish’s published sizes: the 23 × 6 mm stator, 29.4 mm bell, 18.3 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything FlyFish 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.
