          I removed the threaded prop adaptor from my Leopard motor, turned the motor around and used a standard plain flexible coupling on the other end of the shaft.

            Robin – You do not need a pitch gauge. Just place a steel rule against the thread and just count the number of full threads over a given distance. Then calculate the pitch or the of the thread

              Indeed, just not sure if it was imported and not a metric thread.used to work on American built stuff and it was a pain.

                I found a prop adaptor in my 'brushless box' which was labelled M3.5. Might be relevant?

                Do let us now which solution you choose – if either – and why. These things matter.

                  Robin – Further to the earlier post by Dave Milbourn. If you wish to undertake a comparison with a M3.5 thread, it is the standard thread used for domestic electrical fittings e.g. the screws which attach the socket outlets to the steel box embedded in the wall.

                  The other line you could pursue would be to try another fitment with a known thread size e.g. the normal thread size used for model boat props is M4 X 0.7

                    If looks like an m5 thread, how do I remove threaded prop adaptor without upsetting my new motor?

                      If you look at the motor you'll see that the prop adaptor has a cruciform plate which is screwed to the red motor case. If you remove the four Allen screws then this plate can be taken off. You then mount the motor with the other end of the case as shown in the photo of my installation. The shaft is 3.17mm diameter (aka 3.2mm nominal) which is a standard coupling size. **LINK**

                      As I've been known to say once or twice, it works for me!
