DJI props and 0-XOXO props

[Monte55]

I have a P1 that has a Walkera G3D gimbal and Multistar 4000 ma battery and Gopro camera. I bought a set of DJI 9450 props as I have heard they work better with the extra weight . They did. I had a tip over one day in my gravel drive chipping the props. I ordered same props from same seller and came in same package. I was just getting ready to fly and as I was checking props, I noticed 2 are DJI and 2 are the xoxo props. That's crap. That's not what I ordered. You really have to look close to see the raised lettering on the props. They were the same price both times. I haven't had any problems flying but this bugs me. I only buy OEM props....so I thought. Always take a good look at what you get.

I had mentioned this a while back that one of my 9450 props ......if I tried to tighten the prop too much by hand to the motor...the hub with threads would spin in the prop although it took effort to do this. I just checked...it was the xoxo prop. It flies fine though.

if you use the xoxox make sure you balance them

every one I have seen is way off balance.
DJI are usually fine..

I suspect the xoxo are factory rejects from dji and just sold as generic .....

In my opinion, the two things you always want to be OEM are props & batteries.
The XOXO props have always gotten bad reviews since the P2 days.

How could they be DJI factory rejects with the xoxo molded into the prop?

good point

Here's the odd thing. I only have 2 props that have the xoxo thing. One silver, one black as that's how they come in the package. I have only ordered these props twice. Each time was two pairs. So one of the orders had an OEM pair and the second pair were non DJI. I can't find my receipt although when I ordered the second set of 4 props, I ordered from same vender. They may sell both. Not sure. I doubt it was intentional on their part. I looked this morning on ebay in my history to try and figure where I got these. No luck but I did find a bunch of ads selling a large amount of props really cheap. I'm sure not OEM.

I just spent the last hour looking for OEM 9450 props for Phantom 2. So many of the ads are very deceptive. I finally found 2 pairs ...with metal hubs Part # 13 for $15 on Amazon. Prime from Rotorlogic. Are they a good company? . .

I have gotten stuff from them Monte and they were straight up with me on what I ordered but they were not props .
I would order from them again .
