5-inch FPV freestyle motor

SpeedyBee 2306.5

A 6S 5-inch motor at 1800KV: 34.34 g with leads, pulling up to 1,551 g per motor on SpeedyBee's own bench (51466-3 prop, 30.76 A).

  • 5-inch FPV quads such as SpeedyBee's Master 5 V2
  • 6S
  • Props like the 51466-3 and 4943.5-3 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 2306.5 motor drawn from SpeedyBee’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are SpeedyBee’s bench figures for the 51466-3 prop at 23.99 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 51466-3: 728 g of thrust, 9.8 A, 234 W, 3.11 g per watt.

On your quad

9.5 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 6,206 g with the 51466-3 at 23.99 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 2,913 g, 4.5 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 $19.99

  • 1.55 kg of thrust on 6S

    On SpeedyBee's bench it pulled 1,551 g at full throttle on a 51466-3 prop, drawing 30.76 A (722 W) at 23.47 V.

  • Made for the Master 5 V2

    SpeedyBee recommends it with its Master 5 V2 frame and F7 V3 stack, and offers PID files for that build.

What to pair it with

Our reading of SpeedyBee’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC
SpeedyBee gives 30.76 A as the maximum current, the top of its own 6S bench (51466-3 prop); a 35 A or larger ESC covers it. With a BLS ESC, SpeedyBee says to set Demag Compensation to High. (SpeedyBee product page, SpeedyBee manual)
Props
SpeedyBee tested two props on 6S: the 51466-3 (1,551 g at full throttle) and the 4943.5-3 (1,472 g at 28.78 A). (SpeedyBee manual)
Battery
6S, the only voltage SpeedyBee lists. (SpeedyBee product page)
Frame
Four M3 holes on a 16 mm circle (16 × 16 mm). Five M3 × 8 mm screws and a nut 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 1800KV 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 nominal14.826,6403,108 Hz18,648
4S full16.830,2403,528 Hz21,168
6S nominal22.239,9604,662 Hz27,972
6S full25.245,3605,292 Hz31,752

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 23 × 6.5 mm stator, 28.9 mm bell, 18.4 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 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.
