Overview
The Traxxas Propeller, left / 4.0mm GS (set screw) (TRX1584) is a genuine OEM replacement propeller specifically engineered for Traxxas RC boat models. This left-hand rotating propeller is an essential spare part for any RC enthusiast in the UK who operates Traxxas aquatic models and wants to maintain peak performance on the water. Whether you're a seasoned RC boat racer or discovering the world of RC marine vehicles for the first time, having quality replacement propellers on hand ensures your boat stays in action and ready for your next water adventure.
Crafted with precision engineering by Traxxas, a world-renowned leader in RC vehicle manufacturing, this propeller represents the same exacting standards applied to all genuine Traxxas components. The 4.0mm shaft diameter and set screw mounting system make this propeller compatible with specific Traxxas boat models that require this exact specification. For UK-based RC boat enthusiasts, purchasing genuine Traxxas spare parts like this propeller guarantees compatibility, reliability and the performance your model deserves.
Replacement propellers are consumable items that may require periodic changes due to wear, damage or performance tuning adjustments. Having spare propellers in your RC boat maintenance kit allows you to keep your vessel operational without extended downtime, and enables you to experiment with different propeller configurations to optimise your boat's speed and handling characteristics on the water.
Key Features
- Left-Hand Rotation Design — This propeller is specifically engineered to rotate counter-clockwise, making it the correct choice for port-side applications on dual-propeller setups or for models that require left-hand thrust vectoring. Using the correct rotation direction ensures balanced handling and optimal water displacement.
- 4.0mm Shaft Diameter — The precisely measured 4.0mm shaft ensures a secure fit with compatible Traxxas boat motor assemblies equipped with matching drive shafts. This tight tolerance prevents slippage and maintains consistent power transfer from motor to water.
- Set Screw Mounting System — The set screw fastening mechanism provides a reliable, tool-free method to secure the propeller to your drive shaft, allowing quick changes and adjustments without requiring specialised equipment. This design philosophy prioritises accessibility and ease of maintenance for RC operators.
- Genuine Traxxas Engineering — Manufactured by Traxxas using their proprietary specifications and quality control standards, this propeller delivers the exact performance characteristics and durability expected from factory-original components. Genuine Traxxas parts ensure your boat performs as the designers intended.
- New Style Plastic Construction — This propeller features new-generation plastic composite materials that balance durability with weight efficiency, delivering responsive acceleration and reliable performance across varied water conditions typical in the UK.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Propeller TRX1584 represents precision marine engineering optimised for specific Traxxas boat platforms. The 4.0mm shaft diameter accommodates the drive train specifications of compatible models, whilst the left-hand rotation configuration enables proper thrust vectoring in dual-propeller setups or single-screw configurations that require counter-clockwise rotation. Manufactured from advanced plastic compounds, this propeller delivers excellent strength-to-weight ratios, allowing for responsive acceleration and efficient power delivery from brushless or brushed electric motors commonly used in Traxxas RC boats. The set screw retention system has been engineered for quick-release capability, permitting operators to swap propellers during testing sessions without time-consuming disassembly. This new-style propeller design incorporates hydrodynamic blade geometry calculated to maximise thrust whilst minimising cavitation across the RPM ranges typical of Traxxas electric boat systems. Compatibility with Traxxas boat models equipped with newer motor and gearbox assemblies ensures that upgrading or replacing worn propellers maintains factory-specification performance on the water. The plastic construction resists corrosion from saltwater environments, though freshwater rinsing after use is recommended for maximum component longevity, particularly in UK coastal RC boating venues.

Compatibility Notes
This new-style propeller requires consideration if fitted to older Traxxas Villain boat models equipped with part numbers 1534 and 1533 propellers. When upgrading to this TRX1584 propeller on legacy Villain platforms, you will need to change to smaller pinion gears to maintain correct drive train geometry and motor engagement. This gearing adjustment ensures the new propeller spins at optimal RPM and prevents drivetrain stress. Always consult your Traxxas model's instruction manual or contact Traxxas support to verify pinion gear specifications when upgrading propellers on older models.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas RC boat models use the 4.0mm GS left-hand propeller? — The TRX1584 is designed for specific Traxxas boat platforms equipped with 4.0mm shaft motors and left-hand propeller requirements. Check your boat's instruction manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
- Can I use this propeller on my older Traxxas Villain boat? — Older Villain models equipped with part numbers 1534 and 1533 require gear ratio adjustments when fitted with this newer TRX1584 propeller. You will need to install smaller pinion gears to maintain proper drive train engagement. Consult your manual or our expert team before upgrading legacy models.
- What is the difference between left-hand and right-hand propellers? — Left-hand propellers rotate counter-clockwise when viewing from behind the boat, whilst right-hand propellers rotate clockwise. Dual-propeller setups typically use one of each to achieve balanced thrust. Using the correct rotation direction for your boat's configuration is essential for stable handling and directional control on the water.
- How often should I replace my RC boat propeller? — Propeller replacement frequency depends on usage intensity, water conditions and operating environment. Inspect propellers regularly for damage, cracks or blade wear. Saltwater operation accelerates wear compared to freshwater use. Keep spare propellers in your maintenance kit for quick field changes.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part or an aftermarket replacement? — The TRX1584 is a genuine, factory-original Traxxas component manufactured to OEM specifications. Purchasing genuine Traxxas spares ensures compatibility, reliability and performance consistency with your model.
- What material is this propeller made from? — This new-style propeller utilises advanced plastic composite materials engineered for strength, weight efficiency and corrosion resistance. The plastic construction is lighter than metal alternatives, improving acceleration response whilst maintaining durability across typical RC boat operating conditions.
