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
Drawing the 3D model…

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.

  • Made for the Bee35

    SpeedyBee says a Bee35 frame with these motors flies up to 11 minutes on a 6S 1300 mAh battery, and recommends them with its F405 Mini stack.

  • 3.5 to 5-inch whoops

    SpeedyBee says the 1950KV suits 3.5-inch, 4-inch and 5-inch whoops.

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:

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.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.828,8603,367 Hz20,202
4S full16.832,7603,822 Hz22,932
6S nominal22.243,2905,051 Hz30,303
6S full25.249,1405,733 Hz34,398

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.
