Xnova Lightning 4530-565KV Brushless Motor – Shaft A

Built for pilots who demand extreme 3D power and higher head speeds.

The new Xnova Lightning 4530-565KV is a high-performance brushless outrunner developed for aggressive 3D flying in 700-class RC helicopters. Optimized for 12S power systems, its higher 565KV rating delivers the RPM headroom required for fast cyclic response, strong collective performance, and demanding high-head-speed setups.

Part of Xnova’s V3 Lightning series, this motor combines thinner stator laminations, upgraded cooling, thicker hand-wound copper wire, and high-temperature neodymium magnets to provide strong, consistent power while keeping operating temperatures under control.

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.
