An absolute BEAST of a motor. Great quality; numerous shaft lengths available. Wires are very stiff; tips are pretinned. I'm not a fan of the small bullet connectors they include with the motor, but that's my only gripe. The motor is high-quality, runs smooth and cool, and puts out a metric-sh*$-ton of power. It's the only motor I flyings my 700 machines.
These are in my opinion the best motors on the market! They have plenty of reserve power, are very energy efficient, and run cool and very smoothly. I have xnova motors in 5 different helicopters and a B17. They are always cool to the touch even after extremely hard flying. My Helicopters all fly on 6S 5000 packs (three of them are 12s two are 6s configuration) and I get up to 9 to 12 minutes of flight time depending on how hard I fly. The battery, ESC, and motor are all less than 105 degrees Fahrenheit on an 80 degree day!
Motor is excellent due to the high efficient power as noted by its low temperature and current used in batteries. As a long term customer to AMAIN Hobbies, I must say that they always provide excellent customer service, their website is the easiest to search on, and their product availability is greater than their competition. Derrick in customer service went above and beyond to help me this time and I appreciate that more than competitive prices or discounts. Thank you Derrick.
All three reviewers rate the Xnova Lightning 4530-525KV Brushless Motor (Shaft A) highly and describe it as powerful, smooth-running and efficient. Two report that it stays cool under hard use, and one reports that a 6S 5000mAh pack in a helicopter gave 9 to 12 minutes of flight time, with battery, ESC and motor below 105°F on an 80°F day. One reviewer says the motor is used on 700-class helicopters and another mentions use in a B17. Minor criticisms concern the stiff wires and the small bullet connectors supplied. One reviewer's comments focus mainly on the retailer's service rather than the motor. The reviews are few and largely from one customer group, so confidence is moderate.
