10mm. Just do a simple Google search for "Super Tigre 4500 shaft size."

Good flying,

Hi,

It is ~0.394 in standard inches.
I have used both the 10.0mm and 0.394in and both work for my stuff.

Hope this helps.
Tony

Tower Hobbies has a metric prop reamer that goes up to 10mm. I think it's about $17. I have to order one myself. I have a new/old stock Super Tigre ST2000 that has that size shaft.

The threads portion is of 10mm diameter, but the shank itself (where the prop actually goes through) is 12mm. I know, because I just rimmed one prop out.

I am sure there's a 12mm drill bit that I can buy.
