10-inch FPV motor

RCinPower EX3115 Plus

A 115 g motor on a 31 × 15 mm stator for 10-inch quads, in 900KV for 4S–6S and 450KV for 10S–12S; RCinPower rates the 900KV at 80 A and 1,920 W.

  • 10-inch quads
  • 4S–6S (900KV) or 10S–12S (450KV)
  • 10-inch three-blade props
Drawing the 3D model…

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 RCinPower’s published sizes, not its exact design. No-load speed is KV × 22.2 V, a nominal pack for this version. RCinPower publishes no bench data for it.

Version

RCinPower's bench table is at 24 V (6S).

Weight
115 g
with 3 cm leads, both KVs

What you get

  • Two windings, two voltages

    The 900KV is for 4S–6S and the 450KV for 10S–12S; both weigh 115 g with 3 cm leads.

  • Most efficient at 4–8 A

    RCinPower gives over 85% efficiency at 4–8 A for both KVs.

What to pair it with

Our reading of RCinPower’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC
RCinPower rates the 900KV at 80 A and 1,920 W and the 450KV at 45 A and 2,160 W. The 900KV needs an ESC rated for 80 A per motor on 6S; the 450KV needs one for 12S rated for 45 A. (RCinPower spec sheets)
Props
RCinPower's sheets list the HQProp 10 × 5 × 3 and Gemfan 1050 three-blades for both KVs. (RCinPower spec sheets)
Battery
4S–6S for the 900KV; 10S–12S for the 450KV. (RCinPower spec sheets)
Frame
Four M3 screws, opposite holes 19 mm apart. (RCinPower spec sheets)

Inside the motor

A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:

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.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.813,3201,554 Hz9,324
4S full16.815,1201,764 Hz10,584
6S nominal22.219,9802,331 Hz13,986
6S full25.222,6802,646 Hz15,876

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 RCinPower’s published sizes: the 31 × 15 mm stator, 38 mm bell, 31.55 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything RCinPower 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.
