Prop adapter recommendation

[Tundrawheels]

I have a 3536-800KV motor with an attached prop adapter that has a little octagon-shaped nut milled as part of the shaft. The nut fits inside the current spinner, figure that's not that uncommon. The stock prop and spinner are fairly flimsy so trying to upgrade to a more quality product.

New to building, so in my internet searches and and hobby store visit (kids working there no help) I seem to find smooth props and no spinners with an octagonal indent.

What is the preferred method to attach a prop/spinner, and must you match an adapter to the specific motor, or is there an industry standard?

How much power is that motor rated for? And do you have a photo of your setup?

On the larger models, these spinners have a backplate that goes behind the prop. The prop is bolted to the motor shaft with the motor hardware. Then the spinner portion attaches to the back plate by either screws into the back plate, or by a single screw into a special motor prop nut.

This type of setup usually weighs several ounces or more, depending on motor size.
