I've been running the XNova Lightning 4525 530kv motor now in a few different 700 machines and I have to say they have been very reliable. With tons of power and very cool temps when running, this motor is a winner. I will continue to run this same motor in all my electric 700's from now on. I've ran helis at high head speed over 2300rpm all the way down to 990rpm on the head with great success. THe motor performed the same at both ends of the spectrum.

What reviewers say

All three reviewers are verified owners of the Shaft A variant and rate it 5/5. They report strong power, reliable operation and cool running in 700-class helicopters, including Goblin Raw 700 builds. One reviewer says it performed consistently across head speeds from about 990 to 2300 rpm. Reviews are brief and positive, with no reported problems or disagreement. The sample is small, so the picture is limited.

  • + Strong power
  • + Runs cool
  • + Reliable in 700-class helicopters
  • + Consistent performance across head speeds
