T-Motor AM480 48-52″ KV650 Motor

T-Motor brushless motors are high-performance brushless motors engineered for high-performance RC aircraft.

The TMOTOR AM480: The Ultimate Torque Engine for 3D Freestyle

Engineered specifically for 48″ to 52″ 3D aircraft, theT-Motor AM480 is a masterpiece of power-to-weight efficiency. Whether you are performing low-altitude hovers or aggressive XA maneuvers, this motor provides the instantaneous torque and reliability required for professional-grade flight.

Why Choose AM480 for Your 3D Rig?

• High-Torque 3:1 Architecture: With a unique 3:1 diameter-to-height ratio, the AM480 delivers massive low-end torque while maintaining superior cooling efficiency compared to traditional long-bell motors.

• Robust & Lightweight Build: Featuring a hollow shaft and integrated cooling ripples on the bell, we’ve stripped away unnecessary weight without sacrificing structural integrity. It’s lighter, tougher, and ready for high-G loads.

• Precision Craftsmanship: The dual-color CNC craft isn’t just for looks—it houses a high-heat-resistant winding system and an adjustable prop adapter for maximum propeller compatibility.

Motor Operating Warning and Setup Guidelines

Operating this brushless motor outside of the factory-recommended specifications may cause permanent damage to the motor, battery, or electronic speed controller (ESC) and may void the manufacturer’s warranty. For safe and reliable performance, all power system components must be installed and configured correctly.

We strongly recommend using a watt meter to measure voltage, current (amps), and wattage when setting up a new EDF or RC power system. If measured output exceeds the motor’s rated limits, adjust the ESC timing and throttle calibration to bring performance back within safe operating ranges.

High-voltage (HV) LiPo batteries are not recommended for this motor, as they operate at higher voltages than the motor is designed to handle and may lead to overheating or premature failure.

Following these setup guidelines helps ensure maximum efficiency, long motor life, and dependable performance in your electric ducted fan or RC aircraft system.

Insurance Note:  Fan Jets USA recommends the purchase of shipping insurance. If insurance is not purchased and the package is lost or damaged, the most that can be claimed with the USPS and awarded to the purchaser (shipment recipient) is $50.00.  Fan Jets USA is not responsible for reimbursing the purchaser for the difference in an order of any amount.  Shipping charges are not included in an insurance claim per USPS guidelines.
