The X55 propellers are customized for the downward facing motor mount configuration. Only use propellers purchased through Arcsky.

Motor rotation overview:

Clockwise (CW) propeller

Counterclockwise (CCW) propeller

Procedure:

  • Remove the existing propeller from the motor by removing the 4X SHCS M3 screws.

  • Attach the new propeller to the motor. Pay close attention to the type of propeller (i.e. clockwise vs counterclockwise). Make sure to install a propeller of the exact same type and orientation, and also try to make sure you install the screws back into the same holes they were removed from.

Improper orientation of the propeller will cause the vehicle to flip or yaw in an unpredictable manner. Please ensure the orientation is correct.

  • Apply threadlocker to the 4X SHCS M3 screws and apply appropriate torque.

  • Double check the orientation one last time according to the figure.
