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

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.

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:
- Rotor. An integrated outer rotor, which SpeedyBee says enhances dynamic balance. (SpeedyBee product page)
- Top. Six spokes from a hexagonal hub, each forking in a Y near the rim (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 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.
| Battery | Volts | No-load rpm (KV × V) | Electrical frequency | ESC steps per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4S nominal | 14.8 | 26,640 | 3,108 Hz | 18,648 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 30,240 | 3,528 Hz | 21,168 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 39,960 | 4,662 Hz | 27,972 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 45,360 | 5,292 Hz | 31,752 |
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.
