Xnova Lightning 4530-565KV Brushless Motor – Shaft A

New for 2026, the Xnova Lightning 4530-565KV Motor is a high-performance brushless outrunner designed for pilots seeking extreme 3D performance, higher head speeds, and strong power delivery in 700-class RC helicopters.

Optimized for 12S power systems, the higher 565KV rating provides additional RPM headroom for fast cyclic response, strong collective performance, and demanding high-head-speed setups.

Part of Xnova’s V3 Lightning series, the 4530-565KV features thinner stator laminations, improved cooling, thicker hand-wound copper wire, and high-temperature neodymium magnets. These refinements help deliver strong, consistent power while improving efficiency and thermal performance during aggressive flying.

Maximum RPM. Maximum Response. Extreme 3D Performance.

For pilots who find the 4530-525KV or 4530-550KV too conservative for their preferred head speed, the new 4530-565KV provides the extra RPM potential needed for uncompromising 3D performance. Pair it with a suitable high-current HV ESC, battery system, gearing, and drivetrain for a powerful 700-class setup.
