5-inch FPV freestyle motor

FPVCycle 22.6mm

A 5-inch motor sold in two parts: a 22.6 × 7.2 mm stator at 1920KV and a 14.4 g bell in one of four colours, held on by a single screw.

  • 5-inch builds
  • 6S, 5S or 4S at 1920KV
  • 16 × 16 mm M3 or 12 × 12 mm M2 frames
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 22.6x7.2 motor drawn from FPVCycle’s published sizes, not its exact design. No-load speed is KV × 22.2 V, a nominal pack for this version. FPVCycle publishes no bench data for it.

Version

Stator with a 16 × 16 mm M3 or 12 × 12 mm M2 mount (both listed as sold out). FPVCycle suggests 6S or 5S packs, or 4S for more efficiency and less power.

Weight
33 g
about 33 g with short leads: bell 14.4 g (silver 14.3 g), stator about 19.6 g with about 90 mm of lead

What you get

  • Stator and bell sold apart

    Pick a stator and a bell colour and snap them together; one M3 × 5 screw holds the bell, so a crashed bell is a one-screw swap.

  • A taller Wasp stator

    FPVCycle took the 22.6 mm stator of RCinPower’s Wasp, made it taller and used thicker, updated magnets; its chart gives the stator as 22.6 × 7.2 mm.

  • Four bell colours

    Hot Pink, Raw Mercury Silver, Ferrari Red and Gloss Grey bells, 14.4 g each (silver 14.3 g), with thick spokes for durability.

  • NMB bearing and O-ring

    A Japanese NMB 9 × 4 × 4 mm bearing, and a rubber O-ring between bell and bearing to set the shaft’s retention pressure.

What to pair it with

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

Props
FPVCycle recommends the Gemfan 51433 for most flying, the Gemfan F4S for response and power, and the F3S for more response with less power. (FPVCycle product page)
Battery
1000–1250 mAh 6S or 1100–1300 mAh 5S at 1920KV; a 1300 mAh 4S pack gives more efficiency and less power. FPVCycle suggests the highest C rating you can get. (FPVCycle product page)
Frame
Choose the stator that fits your frame: 16 × 16 mm M3 or 12 × 12 mm M2, on a 2.5 mm flush-mount base. FPVCycle warns that screws driven into the windings will break the motor. (FPVCycle product page)

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 1920KV 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 nominal14.828,4163,315 Hz19,891
4S full16.832,2563,763 Hz22,579
6S nominal22.242,6244,973 Hz29,837
6S full25.248,3845,645 Hz33,869

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 FPVCycle’s published sizes: the 22.6 × 7.2 mm stator, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything FPVCycle 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.
