5-inch FPV freestyle motor
RCinPower EX2207
A 29.9 g 2207 for 5-inch freestyle and racing on 5S–6S (1980KV) or 3S–4S (2500KV); on RCinPower's 24 V bench the 1980KV pulled up to 1,948 g per motor.

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2207 motor drawn from RCinPower’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are RCinPower’s bench figures for the Gemfan 51466 prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

What it pulls
RCinPower’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 51466: 1,022 g of thrust, 16.8 A, 403 W, 3.21 g per watt.
On your quad
12.0 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 7,792 g with the Gemfan 51466 at 24 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 4,086 g, 6.3 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.

Bench data
Redrawn from RCinPower’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:
- Shaft. 4 mm hollow; 5 mm across the thread, which stands 13.1 mm above the bell. (RCinPower 1980KV sheet)
- Stator. The coils are wound on a stack of thin steel laminations: 22 × 7 mm (2207). (RCinPower 1980KV sheet)
- Base. 4 × M3 holes, opposite holes 16 mm apart (16 × 16). (RCinPower 1980KV sheet)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1980KV 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 | 29,304 | 3,419 Hz | 20,513 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 33,264 | 3,881 Hz | 23,285 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 43,956 | 5,128 Hz | 30,769 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 49,896 | 5,821 Hz | 34,927 |
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 RCinPower’s published sizes: the 22 × 7 mm stator, 27 mm bell, 18.65 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything RCinPower 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.
