5 to 6-inch long-range FPV motor
iFlight XING2 2506
A 2506 that iFlight sells as a long-range motor: a one-piece 7075 bell, a 5 mm titanium shaft, NSK 10 × 4 × 4 bearings, and 1.9 kg of pull per motor on a 6-inch tri-blade on iFlight's 6S bench (1500KV).
- 5- to 6-inch long range
- 6S
- 6-inch props (1500KV) or 5-inch props (1850KV), as iFlight tested them
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2506 motor drawn from iFlight’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are iFlight’s bench figures for the Gemfan 6030-3 prop at 25.2 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 Gemfan 6030-3: 829 g of thrust, 9.8 A, 247 W, 3.36 g per watt.
On your quad
11.5 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 7,488 g with the Gemfan 6030-3 at 25.2 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 3,316 g, 5.1 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.

- ESC
- Rated for at least the motor's peak current on 6S: about 33 A for the 1500KV on a 6-inch tri-blade and 50 A for the 1850KV on a 5-inch tri-blade. (iFlight 1500KV test report, iFlight 1850KV test report)
- Props
- iFlight tested the 1500KV with an HQ 6 × 2.5 × 3 (1860 g at full throttle) and a Gemfan 6030-3 (1872 g); the HQ was slightly more efficient at half throttle, 3.79 g/W against 3.72. (iFlight 1500KV test report)
- Battery
- 6S. iFlight gives 25.2 V input for both KVs. (iFlight product page)
- Frame
- Four M3 holes on a 16 mm circle (sold as "16 × 16"). Four M3 × 8 screws and an M5 lock nut come in the box. (iFlight product page, iFlight 1500KV 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 of 7075 aluminium (iFlight's "Unibell"), φ31.7 mm. (iFlight product page)
- Shaft. 5 mm titanium alloy with an M5 thread 9 mm long, protruding 15 mm. (iFlight 1500KV test report)
- Magnets. Curved, centre-slotted N52H arc magnets, 14 poles. (iFlight product page)
- Stator. 25 × 6 mm with 12 teeth; 20 AWG leads, 160 mm long. (iFlight product page)
- Bearings. NSK, 10 × 4 × 4 mm, with an O-ring that iFlight says protects the bearing gap. (iFlight product page)
- Base. 2.5 mm thick, with four M3 holes on a 16 mm circle. (iFlight 1500KV test report)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1500KV 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 | 22,200 | 2,590 Hz | 15,540 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 25,200 | 2,940 Hz | 17,640 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 33,300 | 3,885 Hz | 23,310 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 37,800 | 4,410 Hz | 26,460 |
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 25 × 6 mm stator, 31.7 mm bell, 19.6 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 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.
