🔧 Usage Recommendations

  • 2306 / 2207 is the most commonly used combo for 5" drones, balancing power, efficiency, and smooth flight feel.

  • Choose Higher KV (2500KV+) for 4S batteries.

  • Choose Lower KV (1700KV–2000KV) for 6S batteries.

  • For long-range or cinematic freestyle (carrying GoPro), 2306.5 and 2307 offer better torque.

  • Racing setups may prefer lighter motors like 2205 / 2206 to boost throttle response.
