5-inch FPV racing motor
T-Motor F40 Pro V 2306.8
T-Motor's F40 Pro V for 6S 5-inch racing, in 1950KV and 2150KV; on T-Motor's 25.2 V bench the 2150KV pulls 2108 g at full throttle on a T5147-3.

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2306.8 motor drawn from T-Motor’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are T-Motor’s bench figures for the T5147-3 prop at 25.2 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 20% throttle.

What it pulls
T-Motor’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the T5147-3: 1,061 g of thrust, 19.1 A, 476 W, 2.20 g per watt.
On your quad
12.5 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 8,132 g with the T5147-3 at 25.2 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 4,243 g, 6.5 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 $25.90
Two KVs for 6S
1950KV, which T-Motor pitches for advanced training, and 2150KV for extreme flight; both are specified at 25.2 V.
About 2 kg at full throttle
On the 25.2 V bench the 1950KV pulled 1846–2033 g at 50.4–55.5 A and the 2150KV 1967–2108 g at 60.5–65.6 A, on T-Motor's T5143S-3 and T5147-3 and Gemfan's 51466-3.

Staggered-rib top
T-Motor says the staggered ribs of the bell top make the structure more stable, and a raised prop lock keeps the prop from working loose.

Titanium shaft, EZO bearings
A titanium-alloy shaft, which T-Motor says is lighter and stronger, running in EZO bearings.

Tuned against desyncs
T-Motor says it optimised the magnetic circuit so the high KVs don't desync, and gives ESC settings: rampup power 15%, demag compensation high, motor timing 31, PWM 24–48 kHz.

What to pair it with
Our reading of T-Motor’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.
- ESC
- Peak current over 10 s is 55.5 A for the 1950KV and 65.6 A for the 2150KV. T-Motor recommends its F60A Mini 4-in-1, set to rampup power 15%, demag compensation high, motor timing 31 and PWM 24–48 kHz; T-Hobby also lists the F55A PRO III. (T-Motor drawing and specs, T-Motor product page, T-Hobby product page)
- Props
- T-Motor recommends its T5147. At full throttle on 25.2 V the 1950KV pulled 2033 g on the T5147-3, 1925 g on Gemfan's 51466-3 and 1846 g on the T5143S-3. (T-Motor product page, T-Motor test report)
- Battery
- 6S; T-Motor specifies both KVs at 25.2 V. (T-Motor drawing and specs, T-Hobby product page)
- Frame
- 5-inch racing and freestyle frames, per T-Hobby. Four M3 holes, opposite holes 16 mm apart; T-Motor says the larger contact area of the base holds it more steadily. (T-Hobby product page, T-Motor drawing and specs, T-Motor product page)

Bench data
Redrawn from T-Motor’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:
- Bell. 27.8 mm across, dark grey, with a top of straight ribs that reach the rim staggered, some crossing; their machined faces show grey-silver. (T-Motor drawing and specs, T-Motor product page)
- Shaft. Titanium alloy, 5 mm where it leaves the bell and 4 mm inside, standing 12.3 mm above the bell with 7 mm of M5 thread; a raised prop lock sits below the thread. (T-Motor drawing and specs, T-Motor product page)
- Bearings. EZO. (T-Hobby product page)
- Base. Grey, with four M3 holes 16 mm apart and, T-Motor says, a larger contact area; 20 AWG leads, 150 mm long. (T-Motor drawing and specs, T-Motor product page)
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 T-Motor’s published sizes: the 23 × 6.8 mm stator, 27.8 mm bell, 19.1 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything T-Motor 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.
