MAD Components Components BSC 3115 V1.0 Brushless Motor 490KV 12S - M5 Nut

The MAD Components BSC 3115 490KV motor is engineered for 12S LiPo battery packs. The nominal voltage for a 12S pack is 44.4V, with a maximum charged voltage of approximately 50.4V. Always ensure your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is rated for the corresponding voltage and current (41.5A continuous).

The motor features an M5 threaded shaft with a nut for propeller mounting. It is compatible with propellers that have a 5mm bore and are designed for high-torque, large-diameter applications typical of heavy-lift drones. Always use a matched propeller lock nut and ensure the propeller is balanced for optimal performance.

While capable of high thrust, the 490KV rating and design are optimized for high-voltage efficiency and torque rather than extreme RPM. It is best suited for large freestyle, long-range, or heavy-lift UAV applications where sustained power and lift are prioritized over rapid acceleration and agility typical of smaller racing quads.

The 12N14P (12 stator poles, 14 magnet poles) configuration creates a high magnetic pole count. This results in smoother rotation, finer control resolution, and increased torque density compared to lower pole-count motors. This is particularly beneficial for applications requiring precise throttle control and stability under variable load.
