Xnova Supersonic 2206

What it pulls

Xnova’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

What you get

• Three KVs for 3–4S

  2000KV, 2300KV and 2500KV, each 36 g and rated for 3–4S.

• Hand-wound

  Xnova says the motors are 100% hand-wound, precisely balanced and fully tested, with low cogging torque.

• Bolt-on prop adapter

  A 3 mm shaft, with an M5 prop adapter that bolts to the bell's top on four M2 screws.

• Bench numbers

  On 4S the 2300KV pulls 920 g on a GemFan 5 × 4.5 at 22.2 A, and the 2500KV 1,355 g on a DAL 5045 V2 three-blade at 39 A.

What to pair it with

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

ESC

Full-throttle currents on Xnova's 4S bench run from 16.9 A (2300KV, GemFan 5 × 3) to 39 A (2500KV, DAL 5045 V2 three-blade). Xnova gives medium timing (medium to high for the 2000KV) and 8 kHz PWM. (Xnova 2300KV data, Xnova 2000KV data, Xnova 2500KV data, Xnova 2300KV prop data, Xnova 2500KV prop data)

Props

Xnova tested 5-inch props (GemFan 5 × 4.5, 5 × 3 and 5040, DAL 5045 V2 three-blade) and a GemFan 6 × 4.5 on the 2000KV. Props fit the M5 adapter. (Xnova drawing, Xnova 2300KV prop data, Xnova 2000KV prop data, Xnova 2500KV prop data)

Battery

3–4S for all three KVs. (Xnova 2300KV data, Xnova 2000KV data, Xnova 2500KV data)

Frame

Four M3 screws in the 16 × 19 pattern: one pair of holes 16 mm apart, the other 19 mm apart. (Xnova drawing)

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. A red top over a black band. (Xnova product photo)
• Shaft. 3 mm, with an M5 prop adapter (16 mm flange, 2.2 mm thick, 10 mm of thread) bolted to the top with four M2 screws on a 9 mm circle. (Xnova drawing)
• Base. Four M3 holes in the 16 × 19 pattern. (Xnova drawing)
• Winding. Hand-wound. (Xnova product page)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 2300KV 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.

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 × 6 mm stator, 28 mm bell, 20.5 mm height, 3 mm shaft and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. 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.
