6 to 7-inch long-range FPV motor

GEPRC GR2306

A 32 g 2306 for 6 to 7-inch long-range quads; on GEPRC’s bench the 1600KV pulls up to 1,848 g per motor on an HQ 6045 at 20 V.

  • 6 to 7-inch long range
  • 3S–6S
  • 6 to 7-inch props
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 GEPRC’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are GEPRC’s bench figures for the HQ 6045 prop at 20 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

What it pulls

GEPRC’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 6045: 975 g of thrust, 12.5 A, 250 W, 3.90 g per watt.

On your quad

11.4 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 7,392 g with the HQ 6045 at 20 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 3,900 g, 6.0 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

  • About 1.85 kg on 5S

    It pulled 1,848 g at full throttle on an HQ 6045 at 20 V, drawing 37.32 A, and 1,570 g at 16 V.

  • Efficient at part throttle

    GEPRC gives more than 83% efficiency between 4 and 8 A, and says thrust and efficiency are best between 60% and 80% throttle.

  • 0.15 mm air gap

    N52H arc magnets sit 0.15 mm from the stator, on NSK bearings.

  • Balanced to 2 mg

    GEPRC says each motor is dynamically balanced to within 2 mg.

Bench data

Redrawn from GEPRC’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 1600KV 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 nominal14.823,6802,763 Hz16,576
4S full16.826,8803,136 Hz18,816
6S nominal22.235,5204,144 Hz24,864
6S full25.240,3204,704 Hz28,224

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 GEPRC’s published sizes: the 23 × 6 mm stator, 28.49 mm bell, 4 mm shaft and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything GEPRC 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.
