Overview
About 5045 3-Blade Propellers (pair).
The 5045 3-blade is a 5-inch, three-blade propeller in the classic 5-by-4.5-inch racing geometry, supplied as a CW/CCW pair with a standard 5 mm mounting hole. It is the everyday, widely compatible prop for 5-inch FPV quadcopters, fitting the broad range of 2205 to 2307 class motors that dominate racing, freestyle and sport builds. The 5045 designation indicates a 5-inch diameter and 4.5-inch pitch.
The three-blade layout gives a 5-inch quad the grip and crisp throttle response that racers and freestyle pilots want, trading a little top efficiency for sharper handling and more planted cornering. As a generic, mass-produced prop it is an economical consumable, ideal for pilots who crash often and replace props frequently rather than paying a premium for a specific branded profile.
This prop suits beginners learning on 5-inch quads, club racers who burn through props, and anyone wanting an affordable, universally compatible spare. Because exact weight and material vary by production batch, treat it as a value consumable and confirm the specific listing's material when balance and longevity matter.

Buying guide
How to choose.
The 5045 3-blade is the default consumable for 5-inch quads on 2205 to 2307 motors. As a generic part, exact weight and material differ between batches and suppliers, so if balance, vibration and longevity matter for your build, check the specific listing's material (ABS, polycarbonate or glass-fibre nylon) before buying in bulk.
Polycarbonate versions flex and survive light strikes, while ABS variants are stiffer but can be more brittle. For learning and high-crash flying, prioritise a tougher material and buy several pairs at once, since the low cost makes the 5045 an ideal stock-up consumable.
Always install matched CW and CCW pairs, with two pairs per quad. Confirm your motors use the standard 5 mm shaft, which is near-universal in this class, and inspect each prop for warping or cracks before flight, as generic props can vary in balance from blade to blade.
FAQ
Common questions.
What does 5045 mean?
5045 denotes a 5-inch diameter and a 4.5-inch pitch. This three-blade version adds a blade for extra grip and response over a two-blade 5045. It is one of the most common 5-inch propeller sizes, fitting the majority of FPV racing and freestyle quadcopters.
What motors does it fit?
It fits the broad 2205 to 2307 class of brushless motors used on 5-inch frames, via the standard 5 mm mounting hole. This makes it a near-universal consumable for racing, freestyle and sport quads. Confirm your motor shaft is 5 mm before mounting.
Why is the weight not listed?
This is a generic prop, so exact weight and material vary between production batches and suppliers. Rather than quote a number that may not match your specific item, we recommend confirming weight and material on the listing you buy, especially if balance matters.
How many props are in a set?
This listing is one pair, a clockwise and a counter-clockwise propeller. A quadcopter requires two pairs, so order two sets per quad to fit all four motors with the correct rotation directions.
Is the 5045 good for beginners?
Yes. Its universal fit and low cost make it an ideal learning and high-crash prop. Beginners benefit from cheap, easily replaced props while building skills, and the three-blade grip gives forgiving, planted handling on a 5-inch trainer quad.
What material is the 5045 made of?
Generic 5045 props are made in several materials, commonly ABS, polycarbonate or glass-fibre-reinforced nylon. Polycarbonate flexes and survives strikes well, while ABS is stiffer. Check the specific listing's material to match your durability and balance needs.
