MAD CM3120 Banshee 500KV 12S FPV Drone Motor

The MAD Components Banshee CM3120 is a 500KV brushless motor for 12S LiPo long-range, cinelifter and X-class builds turning 10-inch-class props. The CM series is built for dusty working conditions: two stainless-steel dust filters sit inside the stator, and exhaust blades in the rotor push cooling air through the windings.

Key features

• 500KV winding matched to 12S LiPo (44.4V nominal).

• Two ultra-thin stainless-steel dust filters inside the stator keep dust out of the motor.

• Split exhaust blades inside the rotor for heat dissipation.

• Anticorrosive stator and 220°C-rated winding insulation.

• Maker's test data on a 10×5×3 prop: up to 6.1kgf thrust at 54.1A and 2706W.

• 19mm mounting pattern with four M3 holes.

Sold as a single motor, so order four for a quad. Pair each one with a 12S-rated ESC that handles at least the 54.1A peak, and treat the maximum figures as test-bench values that depend on prop, battery and cooling.
