Description

The Reflex Drive 5008 KV340 UAV Brushless Motor is a precision-engineered outrunner designed for high-thrust, heavy-lift multirotor platforms. Its 24-slot stator and 100% copper windings are optimized for 6S voltage input, delivering a peak torque of 2.88 n.cm to efficiently drive large-diameter propellers up to 18 inches. The motor’s advanced thermal management system ensures stable performance under continuous high-load conditions, preventing efficiency drop-off during prolonged flight operations.

Built with durability for professional UAV applications, the motor features a robust IP34-rated housing that protects against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for agricultural, surveying, and cinematic drone builds. The integrated 80mm 15 AWG power leads provide secure, high-current connections to compatible ESCs, such as the recommended RD D-Pro 40A. This motor represents a high-value solution for pilots requiring reliable propulsion for frames with take-off weights exceeding 7.5 kg on a quadcopter configuration.

Key Features

  • High-torque 5008 outrunner design with 340 KV rating optimized for 6S LiPo batteries.
  • Superior 90.99% electrical efficiency minimizes energy waste and extends operational flight time.
  • Advanced internal cooling architecture prevents overheating during sustained high-thrust maneuvers.
  • IP34 ingress protection rating ensures resistance to dust and water splashes for enhanced field durability.
  • Lightweight 137-gram construction with 15 AWG silicone cables balances power delivery with overall system weight.
  • 24-slot stator with precision-balanced bell for smooth operation and reduced vibration.
  • Compatible with large 15" to 18" folding and fixed-pitch propellers for versatile heavy-lift configurations.

Applications

  • Heavy-lift quadcopter frames for professional cinematography and payload delivery.
  • VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) UAV platforms requiring efficient hover and transition thrust.
  • Agricultural spraying and mapping hexacopters requiring high torque and reliability.
  • Surveying and inspection octocopters demanding redundant, high-power propulsion systems.
  • Custom multirotor builds for research and development where precise thrust control and efficiency are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum recommended propeller size for this 5008 KV340 motor?

The Reflex Drive 5008 KV340 motor is optimized for large-diameter propellers ranging from 15 to 18 inches. The manufacturer specifically recommends a 17x60 folding propeller for optimal balance of thrust and efficiency on 6S power systems.

What ESC is recommended to pair with this 6S motor?

For reliable operation at its maximum continuous current of 51A, a robust ESC like the RD D-Pro 40A ESC (6S) is recommended. It is critical to use a high-quality 6S-rated ESC with sufficient current headroom to handle the motor's peak power draw of 1224W.

Can this motor be used for a heavy-lift hexacopter or octocopter?

Yes, this motor is explicitly designed for multirotor configurations. According to manufacturer recommendations, it can support a hexacopter with a maximum take-off weight of up to 11.78 kg and an octocopter up to 15.42 kg, making it suitable for professional heavy-lift applications.

What does the IP34 rating mean for field operation?

The IP34 rating indicates the motor is protected against tool and wire ingress greater than 2.5mm diameter (IP3X) and against water spray from any direction up to 60 degrees from vertical (IPX4). This makes it resistant to dust and splashing water, suitable for operation in rough outdoor environments like farms or construction sites.
