Building a drone but can I use these motors on a five inch quad

@Ayayeron, no, that will not work for a number of reasons...
Motor is too heavy
Mounting pattern will not fit the frame
KV is way too low
Props won't fit
At 400kv on 5 inch props it wouldn't even get off the ground.

If you want monster motors look no further

These motors at 1922 kv on 6s will blow your mind. You really need a 6 or 7 inch prop to fully take advantage of this kind of power.
Understand, the biggest motors don't make the fastest quad. I like the big motors because they lift the gopro and fly like a five inch without a gopro. That said, with the gopro off the craft isn't really much faster, just a little more nimble. If you just want to fly fast without a gopro, these motors are too big. I'd bet you get higher speeds on a 2208 or a 2207

Here's a Multi GP pilot that uses XING motors for his race build. He's using 2207 @ 1800kv on 6s. You can see all his parts in the description of the video. Multi GP builds are a good place to start if you're looking for speed
And the same pilot with those X-Class motors

You can't go wrong with 2208. iflight has some great 2208 motors on their xing line by the looks of it.

I am currently experimenting with motor size. I have been running Joshua Bardwell’s Lumenier 2407 1700kv motor on 6s on my 5” and really liked the torque and low throttle control however they aren’t the fastest and tough on batteries. I picked up the Xing E 2208 1800kv and have been trying to decide what I like better. Still haven’t figured it out yet but having a ripping packs trying to ???
