Looking at the spec for the shaft I’d say that the thread will be M4

Plenty available on Amazon @Big-D for penny’s

Spec says 4mm shaft. If it’s the nylon locking type you need these should be readily available amazon etc.

Hi,
Although the spec says the motor shaft is 4mm I think you’ll find the prop shaft above the bell is 5mm and threaded M5.
Check it by putting a vernier across the thread, you should expect a measurement of 4.8/4.9mm
If this is the case, try the two links below, note that if the prop hub is thick and motor shaft is short (often the case these days) the low-profile version will be best

Cheers

Get flanged nuts like the links above. They have more surface area against the prop.

Most fpv stuff is built by the pilot. So parts choice is important.
