8- to 10-inch long-range FPV motor
Axisflying AE3115
Axisflying's AE-series 3115 for 8–10-inch long range and heavy lift: 113.5 g without cable, and 4185 g at full throttle on a GF 10*5 three-blade at 25 V.
- 8–10-inch long range and heavy lift
- 3S–6S
- 9- and 10-inch three-blade props
The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 3115 motor drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Axisflying’s bench figures for the GF 10*5 3-blade prop at 25 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

What it pulls
Axisflying’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.
At 60% with the GF 10*5 3-blade: 1,933 g of thrust, 18.2 A, 455 W, 4.25 g per watt.
On your quad
25.8 : 1
Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 16,740 g with the GF 10*5 3-blade at 25 V.
At 60% throttle they pull 7,732 g, 11.9 times the quad’s weight.
All-up weight is the quad ready to fly, with its battery and camera. The thrust is the maker’s static bench figure; in the air it is lower.
What you get for $35.90
AE series
The AE3115 is part of Axisflying's AE motor series; Axisflying says it controls cost without giving up materials, power or durability, and sells it for 8-, 9- and 10-inch long-range, heavy-lift and cinematic drones.

Bench data
Redrawn from Axisflying’s test reports. Thrust is static pull on a bench, more than you get in flight. Power is volts × amps; efficiency is thrust divided by power.

Inside the motor
A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:
- Bell. Black, with twelve straight spokes on the top. (Axisflying product photo, Axisflying top-view photo)
- Shaft. 5 mm with an M5 thread, 11.2 mm of it threaded, standing 16.7 mm above the bell. (Axisflying specs and drawing)
- Stator. 31 × 15 mm, 12 slots, with 14 magnet poles in the bell. (Axisflying product page, Axisflying specs and drawing)
- Leads. 18 AWG silicone wire, 300 mm. (Axisflying specs and drawing)
How fast it spins
KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 900KV version reaches about these speeds; a prop loads the motor and brings it down, typically to around 70–75% of these figures at full throttle.
| Battery | Volts | No-load rpm (KV × V) | Electrical frequency | ESC steps per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4S nominal | 14.8 | 13,320 | 1,554 Hz | 9,324 |
| 4S full | 16.8 | 15,120 | 1,764 Hz | 10,584 |
| 6S nominal | 22.2 | 19,980 | 2,331 Hz | 13,986 |
| 6S full | 25.2 | 22,680 | 2,646 Hz | 15,876 |
A 14-pole rotor has 7 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 7 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 42 times per turn.
About the 3D model
A generic outrunner drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes: the 31 × 15 mm stator, 37.1 mm bell, 31.5 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything Axisflying doesn’t publish is typical for a motor this size, and the bell’s spoked top, the base and the inside are a generic design, not this motor’s. The colours are read off the maker’s product photos. There are no logos or markings: it is our drawing, not the maker’s.
