5-inch FPV freestyle motor
MEPS SZ2306 V2
A 5-inch freestyle motor on a 23 × 6 mm stator: 33 g with leads, a TC4 titanium shaft, NMB bearings, and 1815.4 g of thrust per motor at full throttle on MEPS's 25.2 V bench (1950KV, SZ5145).
- 5-inch freestyle
- 6S (1750KV, 1950KV) or 4S (2450KV)
- 5-inch three-blade props (MEPS SZ5145, SZ4942)
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 MEPS’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are MEPS’s bench figures for the MEPS SZ5145 prop at 25.2 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 10% throttle.

What it pulls
MEPS’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the MEPS SZ5145: 1,009 g of thrust, 15.4 A, 384 W, 2.63 g per watt.
On your quad
11.2 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 7,262 g with the MEPS SZ5145 at 25.2 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 4,034 g, 6.2 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 for $12.90
Thrust data for every KV
Full throttle with the SZ5145: 1734.6 g (1750KV) and 1815.4 g (1950KV) on 25.2 V, 1468.5 g (2450KV) on 16.8 V.

Fewer, thicker arms
MEPS says V2's bell has fewer but thicker supports than V1, for crash resistance and cooling, and an anti-slip prop mount.

What to pair it with
Our reading of MEPS’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.
- ESC
- MEPS pairs it with 45–60 A ESCs. Its peak currents are 33.1 A (1750KV), 42.7 A (1950KV) and 39.8 A (2450KV), and its full-throttle tests reach 46.3 A (1950KV) and 43.2 A (2450KV) with the SZ5145. (MEPS product page, MEPS spec table, MEPS data test)
- Props
- MEPS tested its SZ5145 and SZ4942 three-blade props; the SZ5145 pulls 168–184 g more at full throttle, depending on KV. (MEPS data test)
- Battery
- 6S for 1750KV and 1950KV, 4S for 2450KV; MEPS's FAQ also allows 4S for the 1950KV. (MEPS spec table, MEPS product page)
- Frame
- Four M3 screws on a 16 mm circle (the 16 × 16 pattern of 5-inch frames); M3×8 and M3×9 screws come in the box. (MEPS size chart, MEPS package list)

Bench data
Redrawn from MEPS’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. Fewer but thicker structural supports than the first version, which MEPS says strengthens the rotor and helps cooling under load. (MEPS product page)
- Winding. MEPS says V2 rearranges the windings to fit more conductor into the motor than V1. (MEPS product page)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1950KV 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 | 28,860 | 3,367 Hz | 20,202 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 32,760 | 3,822 Hz | 22,932 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 43,290 | 5,051 Hz | 30,303 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 49,140 | 5,733 Hz | 34,398 |
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 MEPS’s published sizes: the 23 × 6 mm stator, 29.3 mm bell, 18.55 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything MEPS 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.
