Propeller for 8520 Coreless Motor 60mm With 1mm Shaft Hole Red

Specifications:

• Propeller Diameter: 60mm
• Shaft Hole Diameter: 1.0mm (designed for tight friction fit)
• Blade Count: 2 Blades per propeller
• Rotation: 1× Clockwise (CW), 1× Counter-Clockwise (CCW)
• Color: Red
• Material: High-impact lightweight plastic
• Compatible Motors: 8520 Coreless Motors (or any coreless/brushed DC motor with a 1mm shaft)
• Application: Micro quadcopters, RC planes, and DIY aerodynamic models
   

Minimum hardware to get started:

• 8520 Coreless Motors (1× CW, 1× CCW) : the propellers require a 1mm motor shaft for a secure friction fit; standard 2mm shaft DC motors will not fit.
• Micro Drone Flight Controller (e.g., F3/F4 brushed) : to individually manage the speed of each motor and keep the drone stable.
• 3.7V High Discharge LiPo Battery : to provide the immediate, high-current power spikes coreless motors need to generate lift.
• Micro Quadcopter Frame : to securely mount the motors and flight controller in the correct X-configuration.

Safety Warnings:

• Eye Protection Recommended: Always wear safety glasses when testing high-RPM propellers for the first time.
• Push-Fit Warning: Support the bottom of the coreless motor when pressing the propeller onto the shaft to avoid punching the shaft through the motor's bottom end-cap.
• Direction Matters: Installing a clockwise (CW) propeller on a counter-clockwise (CCW) spinning motor will generate downward thrust instead of lift.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this 60mm propeller compatible with standard toy DC motors?
  No, these are specifically designed for a 1.0mm shaft and will not fit standard 2.0mm DC motor shafts.
• Can I use these propellers with brushless drone motors?
  No, they lack the screw mounts required for brushless motors and are strictly for micro coreless setups.
• Do these fit the 8520 coreless motor perfectly?
  Yes, the 1.0mm center hole is precision-molded to provide a tight, slip-free friction fit on 8520 motor shafts.
• Are these propellers compatible with 720 or 716 coreless motors?
  Yes, as long as the specific 720 or 716 motor has a standard 1.0mm shaft, these will fit securely.
• Does the propeller size affect the current draw of my 8520 motor?
  Yes, a larger 60mm propeller will draw slightly more current to maintain high RPMs compared to a 50mm prop.
• Can these 60mm blades handle 3.7V high-discharge LiPo battery speeds?
  Yes, they are molded from high-impact plastic specifically to withstand the extreme RPMs generated by 1S LiPo power.
• Will these 60mm propellers provide more lift than 55mm ones?
  Yes, the larger diameter sweeps a wider area, generating more thrust at the cost of slightly higher power consumption.
• How do I know which propeller is clockwise (CW)?
  Look at the angled pitch of the blade; the higher, thicker leading edge should bite into the air when spun to the right (clockwise).
• Do I need glue to secure these propellers to the 8520 motor?
  No, the 1.0mm hole is designed to grip the shaft tightly using friction alone.
• What happens if I install the CW propeller on a CCW spinning motor?
  The propeller will generate reverse thrust, pushing your drone down into the ground instead of lifting it up.
• Do I need to change Betaflight settings for these 60mm propellers?
  While default settings usually work, you may want to gently tune your PIDs to account for the increased thrust and rotational mass.
• Does Cleanflight support brushed motor mapping for these props?
  Yes, brushed flight controllers using Cleanflight natively support the standard CW/CCW X-configuration mapping.
• How do I reverse motor direction in software if the prop spins backward?
  For brushed builds, motor direction is determined by physical wire polarity, but flight controllers allow you to remap the motor positions via CLI commands.
