Overview
About Holybro 1045 Propellers (2 pair, X500).
The Holybro 1045 is the factory replacement propeller for the popular Holybro X500 and S500 development quadcopters, supplied here as two pairs (four props total). In the classic 10-by-4.5-inch format with a self-locking hub, it is matched to the X500's 2216 920 KV motors and is the correct spare to keep these PX4/ArduPilot research and education platforms flying.
As an OEM part, the 1045 is tuned for the X500's thrust and balance characteristics, so the airframe performs as designed with predictable hover throttle and stable handling. The self-locking mounting threads directly onto the matching X500 motor mounts and tightens under torque for a secure, tool-free fit, which makes it convenient to swap in the field or lab during development cycles.
This set suits anyone running an X500 or S500 for autonomy research, drone education, mapping or PX4/ArduPilot development who wants guaranteed-fit replacements. Buying the genuine Holybro prop avoids the fit and balance uncertainty of third-party 1045 props and keeps the platform within its validated configuration.

Buying guide
How to choose.
If you own an X500 or S500, the genuine Holybro 1045 is the safest replacement because it matches the frame's designed thrust and balance with the 2216 920 KV motors. Third-party 1045 props can fit but may differ in weight and balance, which changes hover throttle and can affect tuning, so OEM props keep your platform predictable.
This is a two-pair set, which fully re-props a single quadcopter. For research and education fleets that fly frequently, keeping at least one spare set per airframe is sensible, since propellers are the most commonly damaged part and a grounded development drone holds up coursework or flight testing.
The self-locking hub mounts tool-free onto the X500's motor mounts; fit matching CW and CCW props to the correct positions. Inspect blades after hard landings, common during autonomy testing, and replace any damaged prop before resuming flights to protect the motors and maintain stable, repeatable flight behaviour.
FAQ
Common questions.
Which drones does the Holybro 1045 fit?
It is the genuine replacement propeller for the Holybro X500 and S500 quadcopters. It is tuned to pair with the X500's 2216 920 KV motors and uses the frame's self-locking mounting, making it the correct spare to keep these PX4/ArduPilot development platforms flying as designed.
How many propellers are in this set?
This set contains two pairs, four propellers total, which is enough to re-prop one complete quadcopter. The set includes both clockwise and counter-clockwise props so all four motor positions get the correct rotation.
Why buy genuine Holybro props over generic 1045?
Genuine Holybro props match the X500's designed weight, balance and thrust, so hover throttle and handling stay predictable and the platform remains within its validated configuration. Generic 1045 props may fit but can differ in balance, which alters tuning and flight behaviour.
What motors do these props pair with?
On the X500 they pair with 2216 920 KV motors, available in both rotation directions. This motor-and-prop combination is what Holybro validated for the frame, giving the stable hover and controllable handling expected from the development platform.
How do the props mount?
They use a self-locking hub that threads onto the matching X500 motor mounts and tightens under motor torque, so installation is tool-free and secure. Fit clockwise and counter-clockwise props to the correct motor positions for proper balance.
Are these good for research and education?
Yes. The X500 and S500 are widely used for PX4/ArduPilot research and drone education, and genuine 1045 props keep those platforms in their validated state. Keeping a spare set per airframe minimises downtime, since props are the most frequently damaged part during testing.
