XNOVA Lightning 4525-560KV Motor – Shaft A

The Xnova Lightning 4525-560KV – Shaft A is a high-performance brushless outrunner motor designed for extreme 3D flying in 630-700mm class RC helicopters.

Optimized for 12S power systems, the higher 560KV rating provides more RPM headroom than the 530KV version, making it an excellent choice for pilots who prefer higher head speeds, faster cyclic response and more aggressive overall performance.

Part of Xnova’s Lightning series, the 4525-560KV features thinner stator laminations, improved cooling, thicker hand-wound copper wire and high-temperature neodymium magnets for improved efficiency, lower operating temperatures and more consistent power delivery throughout the flight.

Why Choose the 560KV Version?

Compared with the 4525-530KV, the 560KV version is better suited to pilots looking for a faster, more aggressive rotor-speed setup. It is particularly well suited to high-head-speed 2-blade and 3-blade configurations while still maintaining the efficiency and smooth power delivery of the Xnova Lightning platform.

• Higher KV for increased RPM potential
• Excellent choice for aggressive 3D and high-head-speed flying
• Suitable for both 2-blade and 3-blade setups
• Optimized for 12S power systems
• Strong torque and consistent power delivery
• Improved cooling and efficiency compared with earlier XTS-series motors

Shaft A Compatibility

This motor is supplied with Xnova Shaft A, featuring a 6mm diameter and approximately 36mm exposed shaft length. Shaft A is commonly used on many 630-700mm class helicopters where the motor mount, pinion position and shaft length are compatible.

Common applications include:

• SAB Goblin RAW 700
• SAB Goblin Kraken 700
• SAB ilGoblin 700 series
• Goosky RS7 / RS7 Ultra
• OMPHobby M7 / M7R
• Other compatible 630-700mm class helicopters using a 6mm motor shaft and suitable mounting dimensions

Important: Compatibility can vary depending on motor mount design, pinion position and required shaft length. Please confirm your helicopter's motor mounting and shaft requirements before installation.
