10-Inch Propellers
10-Inch Propellers
31 products
10-inch propellers cover two very different builds. The 1045 two-blade prop is the standard on F450 and S500 quadcopters with 2212 motors. Tri-blade 10-inch props in glass-fibre nylon are made for 10-inch FPV long-range quads with far larger motors. This page collects every 10-inch prop in our Propellers range, including folding and fixed-wing props. Start from your motor and frame, then pick pitch and blade count.
How to choose a 10-inch prop
- 1045, 1050, 1060: a 10-inch diameter with 4.5, 5.0 or 6.0-inch pitch. 1045 is the F450 default; higher pitch moves more air and draws more current.
- Two blades or three: two-blade props are efficient and cheap, the right choice for a 2212 motor. Tri-blade 10-inch props need the torque of a 28xx or 31xx stator.
- Material: ABS and plain nylon suit trainers; carbon-nylon and glass-fibre nylon are stiffer and hold their shape under load; carbon-fibre props are stiffest and least forgiving in a crash.
- Hub: F450-style props often come with reducer rings for different shaft sizes, and some have a DJI-style hub. FPV 10-inch props have a plain M5 hole.
- Folding props fold flat for transport on folding frames.

Compatibility
A 2212 motor of 920–1000KV on 3S or 4S runs a 1045 prop; do not fit a 10-inch tri-blade to it. A 10-inch FPV quad with 2810 to 3115 motors on 6S runs the tri-blade props. Multirotor props come as CW and CCW: most listings here are one pair, so a quad needs two pairs and a hexacopter three.
Frequently asked questions
- What does 1045 mean?
- A 10-inch diameter and a 4.5-inch pitch. It is the standard propeller for F450 and S500 quadcopters running 2212 motors of around 920–1000KV.
- How many props do I need for a quadcopter?
- Four: two clockwise and two counter-clockwise. Many 10-inch listings are a single pair (1CW+1CCW), so order two pairs for a quad.
- Can I use tri-blade 10-inch props on an F450?
- Not with the usual 2212 motors — a 10-inch tri-blade loads them too heavily and they overheat. Tri-blades are for 10-inch FPV builds with 28xx or larger motors.
