What to check before you buy
- Size and pitch
- Read the size code: 5143 means 5.1-inch diameter and 4.3-inch pitch.
- Motor match
- Check that your motor KV and size can turn the propeller without overheating.
- Hub and mounting
- Check the hub hole (M5, T-mount, 1.5 mm shaft) for your motors.
- Material
- Polycarbonate flexes and survives crashes; glass-fiber nylon and carbon are stiffer.
- Rotation and quantity
- Check the CW and CCW split and how many props a set contains.
