5-inch FPV freestyle motor
Xnova 2207 Hard Line
Xnova's 2207 Hard Line for 5-inch freestyle, about 33.5 g, in five KVs from 1650KV (6S) to 2600KV (3–4S); the 1800KV pulls 1,800 g on a Gemfan 51499 at 22.2 V in Xnova's test.
- 5-inch freestyle
- 6S (1650KV, 1800KV), 4–5S (2150KV) or 3–4S (2450KV, 2600KV)
- 5-inch props on an M5 shaft
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2207 motor drawn from Xnova’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Xnova’s bench figures for the GF51499 prop at 22.2 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

What it pulls
Xnova’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the GF51499: 980 g of thrust, 19.4 A, 431 W, 2.28 g per watt.
On your quad
11.1 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 7,200 g with the GF51499 at 22.2 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 3,920 g, 6.0 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 $31.99

Bench data
Redrawn from Xnova’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. Black, with a red ring round the top of the bell and red cut edges on a five-spoke top. (Xnova product photo, Xnova top photo)
- Shaft. M5 thread, 14 mm above the bell. (Xnova drawing)
- Base. Four M3 holes, opposite holes 16 mm apart. (Xnova drawing)
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 Xnova’s published sizes: the 22 × 7 mm stator, 27.3 mm bell, 19.3 mm height, 5 mm shaft and 16 mm mounting circle. Anything Xnova 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.
