2,3 or 4 blade?

Hey there. I was wondering how many blades do you run on your quad

When my Shuriken 180 Pro arrived, it had the 4 bladed prop on it. Many reviews and members mention to get rid of the stock blade. I ended up purchasing the DAL. tri blade props instead

. I also notice on most reviews, alot of flyers are using two bladed prop. Does the two bladed prop produce more thrust compare to the tri or quad blade?

its a mine field that mate. so many people so many different answers,
I just tested a few props on my new 4" build and found that while the 2 blade props were less thrust they were more nimble and quicker to react/spool up over tri props, but the tri prop had a lot more raw punch out power,
2 blade props run form 25a to 30a on punch out for me and a 3min battery used between 250 and 320mah,
3 blade props run at 35a and used 420mah ish,
3 blade bull nose run between 65a to 72a and used 550 to 730mah
all tested on a 850mah 4s 75c battery and all props were 4045 pitch...

I thank you for that information KevG

I finally tried out the 2 blade instead of the tri blade

and I like the 2 blade for the reason you mention KevG... nimble and quicker to react... that's me

Thanks
