Xnova XTS 4525-530 KV Motor (shaft A) - Goblin Raw 700/ Kraken 700/ iLGoblin 700

The Xnova XTS 4525-530KV YY Motor is a powerful, proven brushless outrunner designed for high-performance 700-size RC helicopters. Built for aggressive sport flying and demanding 3D applications, it delivers strong power, excellent efficiency, and reliable performance in 10S and 12S helicopter power systems.

The XTS 4525 platform is the original version on which Xnova later developed its Lightning 4525 V3 Series. Although the newer Lightning version incorporates further improvements in stator laminations, cooling, windings, efficiency, and power consistency, the XTS remains a capable and well-established motor for pilots seeking excellent 700-class performance.

With its 45 × 25 mm stator, 530KV winding, and peak output of up to 10,000 watts, this motor offers an excellent balance of power, efficiency, and manageable weight. It is especially suitable for lightweight and high-performance 700-size helicopters using approximately 690–710 mm main blades.

Key Features

• Designed for 700-Size Helicopters: A powerful motor option for lightweight and performance-oriented 700-class helicopters using approximately 690–710 mm main blades.
• Strong 3D Performance: Delivers the torque and power required for aggressive sport flying, demanding collective manoeuvres, and high-performance 3D setups.
• Excellent Power-to-Weight Ratio: The compact 4525 stator provides impressive power without the additional size and weight associated with larger 4530- or 4535-class motors.
• Efficient Stator Design: Thin stator laminations help reduce electrical losses and improve overall motor efficiency.
• Integrated Cooling System: Designed to promote airflow through the motor and help maintain lower operating temperatures during high-load flights.
• Thick YY Copper Windings: Hand-wound thick-wire YY construction provides strong current handling and dependable power delivery.
• High-Temperature Windings: Specialized copper wire is designed to withstand temperatures up to 300°C.
• High-Performance Magnets: Neodymium magnets rated for temperatures up to 180°C provide reliable operation under demanding conditions.
• Proven XTS Platform: The established 4525 motor design that served as the foundation for Xnova’s later Lightning V3 Series.

Please verify the requirements of your specific helicopter and power-system setup before installation.

XTS and Lightning Version Comparison

The XTS 4525 is the original proven version of Xnova’s 4525 motor platform. The newer Lightning 4525 V3 Series builds on this design with further refinements intended to provide higher efficiency, improved cooling, increased power output, and more consistent power delivery throughout the flight.

• XTS Version: Proven original 4525 platform with strong power, efficient operation, integrated cooling, and thick-wire YY windings.
• Lightning V3 Version: Updated premium version featuring refined stator laminations, enhanced cooling, thicker single-strand YY wiring, improved efficiency, and more consistent power delivery.

Both versions are designed for demanding helicopter applications, while the Lightning V3 is intended for pilots seeking the highest available performance from the Xnova 4525 platform.

Recommended Applications

• Lightweight and high-performance 700-size electric helicopters
• Helicopters using approximately 690–710 mm main blades
• Aggressive sport and 3D flying
• High-power 700-class builds
• 10S or 12S LiPo power systems, depending on gearing and desired head speed
