T-Motor P16x5.4 Propeller 2pcs
The T-Motor P16x5.4 Propeller 2pcs are carbon fiber propellers for multirotors that should carry more and fly longer without a motor swap. They deliver more thrust at the same throttle, run smoothly thanks to full balancing and leave a generous strength reserve for demanding missions. Matched by T-Motor to the MN4116 motor and the FLAME 60A ESC, they let you build a proven 6S propulsion setup without guesswork.

T-Motor P16x5.4 Propeller 2pcs — More Thrust at the Same Throttle
The T-Motor P16x5.4 is a pair of 16-inch (406.4mm) propellers from the T-Motor P series of polished carbon fiber propellers for multirotors. Each one is a one-piece two-blade propeller made of carbon fiber and epoxy, with a 5.4-inch (137.2mm) pitch and a weight of 25±1.5g. The thrust limit is 7kg per propeller, the optimum speed is 4000-6000RPM, and it works in temperatures from -40 to 65°C. It mounts with a Ø6mm center hole and two Ø3mm holes on a Ø12mm circle, either directly with screws or on a QAD quick-release adapter. T-Motor recommends it for its MN4116 KV450 motor with the FLAME 60A 12S V2.0 ESC on 6S, at 1.7kg of thrust per motor. The set includes one CW and one CCW propeller, two Ø6 to Ø4mm adapters, two mounting covers and four M3x10 screws.

T-Motor P16x5.4 Propeller 2pcs Key Features
More Thrust, Same Throttle
In T-Motor's test on the MN4116 KV450 at 40% throttle, the P16x5.4 produced 1127g at 8.84g/W, while the P15x5 on the same motor produced 948g at 8.60g/W. You get more lift from the same motor without losing efficiency.
Plenty of Strength in Reserve
The thrust limit is 7kg per propeller, while T-Motor recommends 1.7kg per motor with the MN4116 KV450. Even at full throttle in the test (4814g), the propeller works well below its limit.
100% Balanced
T-Motor balances every P series propeller to 100%. A well-balanced propeller passes less vibration to the frame and the camera gimbal.
Light and Strong
Polished carbon fiber and epoxy make the propeller both light and strong. One propeller weighs 25g at a diameter of 16 inches.
Wide Temperature Range
The propellers work from -40 to 65°C, so the same set can fly in a frosty winter and in summer heat.
Ready to Mount
The set comes with adapters, mounting covers and screws. The propeller mounts directly with screws or on a QAD quick-release adapter, on T-Motor U and MN series motors.
Two Ways to Mount It
Standard mounting fixes the propeller directly to the motor with screws through the mounting cover, on U5, U7 and MN4120 motors and the MN35, MN40 and MN52 series. QAD (Quick Attach Detach) mounting uses a quick-release adapter on U5, U7 and MN4120 motors and the MN40 and MN52 series. The QAD adapter is not included in the set. T-Motor recommends securing the screws with a medium or stronger anaerobic thread locker.
