• Bench numbers

  On 22.2 V and 7-inch three-blades the 1350KV pulls 2,325–2,386 g at 41.8–46.1 A, and the 1500KV up to 2,520 g at 54.0 A.

What to pair it with

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

ESC

Full-throttle currents on Xnova's 22.2 V bench run from 39.9 A (1900KV, DAL 5045) to 54.0 A (1500KV, HQ 7 × 4 × 3); the 1350KV draws 41.8–46.1 A. (Xnova 1350KV prop data, Xnova 1500KV prop data, Xnova 1900KV prop data)

Props

Xnova tested the 1350KV and 1500KV on 7-inch three-blades (Gemfan 7040, HQ 7 × 4) and the 1900KV on a DAL 5045 three-blade. Props fit the M5 shaft. (Xnova 1350KV prop data, Xnova 1500KV prop data, Xnova 1900KV prop data, Xnova drawing)

Battery

6S for all three KVs. (Xnova data list)

Frame

Four M3 screws, opposite holes 19 mm apart (the 19 × 19 pattern). (Xnova drawing)

Bench data

Redrawn from Xnova’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 orange-red rings round the top of the bell and orange-red cut edges on a ten-spoke top. (Xnova product photo, Xnova top photo)
• Shaft. M5 thread, standing 14.1 mm above the bell. (Xnova drawing)
• Base. Four M3 holes, opposite holes 19 mm apart. (Xnova drawing)
• Leads. 30 cm. (Xnova data list)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1350KV 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.

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 Xnova’s published sizes: the 28 × 8 mm stator, 33.3 mm bell, 20.6 mm height, 5 mm shaft and 19 mm mounting circle. Anything Xnova 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.
