Edgeflyer Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Does anyone have experience of these? I need spare props or at least to know what size or type I need. The motors seem to have m5 threaded shafts. For example, do the dji drone self locking props fit? thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bennett Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I have no experience of Chroma, but your props should normally have the size embossed on them. Look for numbers like "5030", probably followed by an "L" or "R". That would mean a 5" diameter prop with a 3" pitch (i.e. how far it would move forward, in theory, for one revolution) in either left-handed or right-handed version. If Chroma-specific props are not available from Blade retailers, any prop with the same dimensions should do the job. They often come with an over-sized mounting hole and several inserts for different size shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgeflyer Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Sorted the props 10 x5 with M6 inserts. Now I need to be able to charge the flight battery without access to a blade chroma one. I have an eflite 3 s balance charger but will iy connect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bennett Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Phil B, what is your eventual solution? By coincidence a friend of mine at our club is struggling to find croma props for his quadcopter. I'm suggesting to him that he could use M6 collet type prop adapters to allow him to use regular props that don't have the threaded insert. Have you found a reliable source of the 10" Croma props, or are you adapting to use regular ones? If the latter, I'd be interested to know your solution.

Edgeflyer Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 No real solutions. I managed to get one set of original blades. I tried a set of blades from china but they are not the right thread. No I haven't tried adapting normal props. If you get a solution please let me know!
