Many friends have concerns or are unsure about component selection when building a 10-inch drone. Here is my build experience.
I use 4 x Tenswall 3115 900KV motors.
My Build Specs:
-
Frame: Mark10, wheelbase 396mm, arm thickness 7mm
-
Motor: Tenswall 3115 900KV (4 units)
-
ESC: E601D 60A, supports 2-6S
-
Flight controller: F405
-
Propeller: 10503 tri-blade (4 units)
-
Video transmitter: 5.8G 48CH 3W, range up to 15km
-
Receiver: ELRS 915M
-
Camera: 1800TVL 5-40V
-
Dry weight (without battery): 1120g
-
Recommended battery: 6S 8000mAh-10000mAh 25C
Tested Data (by Tenswall):
-
Top speed: 160 km/h
-
Recommended payload: 3 kg
-
Maximum payload: 4 kg
-
Unloaded flight time: 28 minutes (with 6S 8000mAh battery, takeoff weight 2.2kg)
-
Rated payload flight time: 10 minutes 20 seconds (with 6S 10000mAh battery, takeoff weight 5.2kg, payload approx. 2.7kg)
Why choose 3115 900KV?
-
900KV on 6S gives moderate RPM, balancing torque and efficiency
-
3115 stator size provides enough torque for 3-4kg loads
-
Very low vibration, easier FC tuning
Best use cases:
-
Long-range 10-inch drones (15km range, 28min flight time)
-
Light payload mapping/inspection (1-2kg equipment)
-
Heavy payload testing (up to 4kg, flight time will decrease)
After more than 10 flights, vibration control is good and flight time is satisfying. Anyone else using this motor? Feel free to share your build.
