3.5- to 5-inch cinewhoop motor
SpeedyBee 2006
A 6S cinewhoop motor at 1950KV: 23 g with leads, props bolted to the top, and up to 1,130 g of thrust per motor on SpeedyBee's own bench (HQ 5.1 × 2.5 × 3 prop).
- 3.5- to 5-inch cinewhoops such as SpeedyBee's Bee35
- 6S
- Bolt-on props like the HQ T90MM, GF 4023, HQ 5 × 2 and HQ 5.1 × 2.5 SpeedyBee tested
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2006 motor drawn from SpeedyBee’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are SpeedyBee’s bench figures for the HQ 5.1 × 2.5 × 3 prop at 24.08 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 30% throttle.

What it pulls
SpeedyBee’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 5.1 × 2.5 × 3: 577 g of thrust, 8.0 A, 191 W, 3.03 g per watt.
On your quad
7.0 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 4,520 g with the HQ 5.1 × 2.5 × 3 at 24.08 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 2,308 g, 3.6 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 $13.99
1.13 kg of thrust on 6S
On SpeedyBee's bench it pulled 1,130 g at full throttle on an HQ 5.1 × 2.5 × 3, drawing 21.63 A (515 W) at 23.79 V.

What to pair it with
Our reading of SpeedyBee’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.
- ESC
- SpeedyBee gives 21.63 A as the maximum current, the top of its own 6S bench (HQ 5.1 × 2.5 × 3); a 25 A or larger ESC covers it. (SpeedyBee product page, SpeedyBee manual)
- Props
- SpeedyBee tested four props on 6S, from 822 g at full throttle on the HQ T90MM × 3 and 826 g on the GF 4023 × 3 to 1,023 g on the HQ 5 × 2 × 3 and 1,130 g on the HQ 5.1 × 2.5 × 3. (SpeedyBee manual)
- Battery
- 6S, the only voltage SpeedyBee lists; it quotes up to 11 minutes on a 6S 1300 mAh pack in a Bee35. (SpeedyBee product page)
- Frame
- Four M2 holes on a 12 mm circle. Five M2 × 6 mm and five M2 × 8 mm screws come in the box. (SpeedyBee manual)

Bench data
Redrawn from SpeedyBee’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:
- Top. Six spokes from a hexagonal hub, each forking in a Y near the rim; the hub carries the four M2 prop holes round the shaft (drawing and photos). (SpeedyBee manual, SpeedyBee product photo)
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 SpeedyBee’s published sizes: the 20 × 6 mm stator, 25.7 mm bell, 16.9 mm height, 1.5 mm shaft, 12 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything SpeedyBee 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.
