3 to 4-inch FPV motor
iFlight XING 2205
A 2205 on 6S with a one-piece bell, a 5 mm steel shaft and NSK bearings, 25.3 g with wires: 1458 g of pull per motor on a 4-inch tri-blade on iFlight's 24 V bench (2450KV).
- 4-inch tri-blade and 3.6-inch props, as iFlight tested it
- 6S (2300KV, 2450KV) or 2S–4S (3200KV)
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2205 motor drawn from iFlight’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are iFlight’s bench figures for the HQ 4 × 3 × 3 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

What it pulls
iFlight’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 4 × 3 × 3: 705 g of thrust, 13.0 A, 313 W, 2.25 g per watt.
On your quad
9.0 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 5,832 g with the HQ 4 × 3 × 3 at 24 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 2,820 g, 4.3 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
5 mm steel shaft
iFlight calls it high-strength; it carries an M5 thread for the prop nut and protrudes 13.5 mm.

- ESC
- Rated for at least the motor's peak current: 38.43 A for the 2450KV on a 4-inch tri-blade at 24 V, by iFlight's bench; iFlight gives 17.91 A for the 2300KV and 33.06 A for the 3200KV. (iFlight 2450KV test report, iFlight product page)
- Props
- iFlight tested the 2450KV with an HQ 4 × 3 × 3 tri-blade (1458 g at full throttle) and a Gemfan 3630 (1265 g). The 3630 ran cooler, 75 °C against 82 °C. (iFlight 2450KV test report)
- Battery
- 6S for the 2300KV and 2450KV; 2S–4S for the 3200KV. (iFlight product page, iFlight 2450KV test report)
- Frame
- Four M2 holes on a 12 mm circle (sold as "12 × 12"); the frame needs that pattern. Four M2×7 screws and an M5 flange nut come in the box. (iFlight product page, iFlight 2450KV test report)

Bench data
Redrawn from iFlight’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. One piece (iFlight's "Unibell"), φ28.6 mm. (iFlight 2450KV test report)
- Shaft. 5 mm steel with an M5 thread, protruding 13.5 mm (4 mm on the 3200KV). (iFlight 2450KV test report)
- Magnets. Curved N52H magnets, 14 poles. (iFlight product page)
- Stator. 22 × 5 mm with 12 teeth, wound with single-strand copper; 22 AWG leads, 160 mm long. (iFlight product page)
- Bearings. NSK, 8 × 3 × 4 mm. (iFlight product page)
- Base. 2.5 mm thick, with four M2 holes on a 12 mm circle. (iFlight 2450KV test report)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 2450KV 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.
| Battery | Volts | No-load rpm (KV × V) | Electrical frequency | ESC steps per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4S nominal | 14.8 | 36,260 | 4,230 Hz | 25,382 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 41,160 | 4,802 Hz | 28,812 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 54,390 | 6,346 Hz | 38,073 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 61,740 | 7,203 Hz | 43,218 |
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 iFlight’s published sizes: the 22 × 5 mm stator, 28.6 mm bell, 16 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 12 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything iFlight 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.
